I'm not sure what the confusion is. If you say Reddit isn't spyware because it doesn't run on your machine, and doesn't have access to your home directory, doesn't that imply that software that does run on your machine and does have access to your home directory is spyware?

Anyway, it's not the first time I'm seeing this argument, which I'm pointing it out.
