All HTTPS ensures is that your conversation stays private between you and whatever follows after the https – so, if you’re reaching out to https://reddit.whatever, only reddit should be able to read/hear/see whatever it is you want to share, and no other party can snoop on this conversation. What reddit chooses to do with this information is up to them, of course.
To give an analogy, it is the equivalent of writing in a coded language and passing notes to your friends. Anyone intercepting these notes will have no idea what it is you’re writing, but your friend can use the notes to build a profile of you and recommend the cool new jeans he’s heard a lot about that all the cool kids are wearing.
