You know what would be a good way to do t? Take all that content and throw it on a federated service like ours. Publicly visible. No bullshit. And no reason to visit Reddit to get that content. Take their traffic away.
What would they say? It’s information that’s freely available, no payment required, no accounts to simply read it, no copyrights, where’s the legal in hosting a duplicate of the content?
It might fall under the same concept that recipes do - you can’t copyright a recipe, but a collection of recipes (such as a book) is copyrightable.
In any case, they have a lot more money to pay lawyers than you or I do, I’ll bet, so even if you are right, that doesn’t mean you’ll have the money to actually win.

Where would it be hosted so that Conde Nast lawyers can’t touch it?

Oh I agree with you, friend. The problem is that they’ll say that they’re losing ad revenue. So they’ll try and sue, even if they’re in the wrong.
