[README Update] Reddit API credentials no longer self-service - New Responsible Builder Policy

Summary

The README currently instructs users to create a Reddit App to obtain \REDDIT_CLIENT_ID\ and \REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET\ for authenticated access. However, this is no longer possible without Reddit's approval due to the new Responsible Builder Policy.

The Issue

As of late 2025, Reddit has introduced a new policy requiring developers to apply for API access approval before they can use the API. This means:
