Reddit now returns "403 Blocked" for the unauthenticated .json API
regardless of User-Agent. Switch to scraping the server-rendered
old.reddit.com HTML listing (which a real browser actually loads) and
extract direct i.redd.it image links.
Use a realistic Firefox User-Agent with full browser headers, and send
distinct header sets for the page navigation (Accept: text/html,
Sec-Fetch-Dest: document) versus the image download (Accept: image/*,
Sec-Fetch-Dest: image) — i.redd.it serves an HTML interstitial unless
the request looks like a genuine <img> fetch.

I like your script but it stopped working with reddit wallpapers.
I asked Claude to do a fix for me :)
