I wouldn't jump straight into building it. First check if the way you're planning to download or reuse Reddit content is allowed, and whether the site adds anything beyond a download button. If it's just a thin tool, getting people back and getting ads approved may be tough. I'd check search demand and test a small version before spending much. I haven't built this exact tool, but I tend to judge ads by what happens after the click, not just the traffic.

technically it is a weekend project with two traps. reddit serves video and audio as separate streams, so the downloader has to fetch both and mux them or everything comes out silent, which is what most complaints about these tools are about. and the api terms and rate limits are much tighter than they used to be, so read those before building on top of it
the money side is the harder half. these tools burn a lot of bandwidth per visitor, generate almost no engagement, ad networks are wary of them, and the user leaves the second the file saves. if you build it, treat it as a funnel into something you own rather than as the business itself
i see many downloader videos of website of social media they are approved by google

the adsense side is what id worry about most with a downloader. even if other sites got approved, approval is one thing and keeping the account alive after copyright complaints is another. i would validate with a tiny version and some alternate monetization like affiliate offers before betting on ads, since downloader traffic rarley clicks anything.
