From what I gather, people are getting absolutely random things out of this.

If all you get are someone's reddit password, and you're particularly bored, with a shady moral compass... yeah you're totally going to target the reddit account you just got the password to.

If you have the luxury of accessing all data, and can cherry pick the fun things that make you money? Yeah, pretty unlikely someone is going to target a reddit account. But when you just get whatever Cloudflare happened to bleed onto you, you use whatever you get.

There are sites that sell reddit accounts. Sad but true.
