User agreements aren't really enforceable, and in this case, there would be a LOT of pressure on the side of fighting for the right to use public comments externally.
Because if reddit got their way, then that means publications can no longer cite Twitter comments. And if publications can't rob Twitter comment, then they fucking die.
No, I don't agree with the bot mirrors either. In fact, me and some friends found a 4chan mirror last month that was plastered with ads and replaced all instances of anon or a board name with some other words. The concept just feels scummy.

Why would publications no longer be able to execute their right of fair use?
On the other hand, mirrors allow for users who wish to not or are blocked from engaging with reddit directly to still access it.
