It might help with faster indexation and social proof but won't improve your backlink profile if thats what your'e asking.

I hadn't heard much about them having any effect on SEO before. But I've noticed, that a lot of companies are using reddit's links. That's why, maybe they use them in this way, as Ibraisthegod said.
but everyone can make a reddit account and link to his website, so how does google is able to distinguish a valid backlink?

Tried it, ran a test... no improvement in terms of rankings.
OK, you get free traffic though.

Its good for referral traffic. But in terms of SEO? I don't think it would do much.

Some people are selling it as a service here so it works.

The referral traffic could actually help as a ranking factor 
Maybe not so much with links in comments as there would not be enough clicks, but creating link posts and then boosting these to the top has worked well in some cases for me.
A post that led to over 7,000 clicks to my page resulted in it ranking #3 for my target keyword within 16 hours. These rankings did only stay for a week, but I believe this has more to do with the fact it was a parasite with 0 optimisation over anything else.
I ran several experiments with Reddit in this past year, I had a parasite case study planned to post here but haven't had the time. Might need to warm up my fingers

In this case the page I was trying to rank was a parasite, I wasn't expecting much in the long run.
Here's an interesting read with a similar case (Albeit from 2015

I've gotten a backlink from reddit before.
Was a new article I posted in the cryptocurrency subreddit. It got over 2,000 up votes and over 300 comments. The backlink was do-follow, however it only lasted roughly 2 months and this was 2 years ago. So unsure how it works today

Reddit's backlinks are generally "no-follow" links, which means they don't pass on any direct SEO benefits. However, they can still drive traffic to your website, increase visibility, and potentially lead to organic backlinks from other sources, which can be beneficial for SEO indirectly.

Many people (quite strangely) are not aware that by default, links on Reddit have a no-follow attribute, which makes them of little to no value in the eyes of Google.
BUT ... Many people (quite strangely) are not aware that for Reddit posts that get enough upvotes, the links get converted to do-follow links, which is a valuable backlink for SEO purposes.

Posting comments with links in Reddit may provide some benefits for SEO, but it is not a reliable or effective strategy on its own. Reddit uses the "nofollow" attribute for all links, which means that search engines like Google do not follow or pass any link authority or ranking credit from those links.
However, posting comments with links in Reddit can still provide indirect benefits for SEO. For example, if your link leads to high-quality content that is relevant and valuable to the Reddit community, it may attract clicks and traffic to your website. This can increase your website's visibility and potentially lead to more backlinks and social shares, which are important factors for SEO.
Additionally, Reddit is a highly authoritative website with a large user base and strong domain authority, which means that links from Reddit can still have some impact on your website's credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines.
Overall, posting comments with links in Reddit can be a useful tactic for driving traffic and building your online presence, but it should be done in a strategic and ethical way, with a focus on providing value to the Reddit community and avoiding spamming or self-promotion.
