Reddit is like the late Roman Empire. It looks fine on the outside, but it's corrupt all the way down, powered by unpaid labor, and the lead pipes are slowly killing everyone.

    No, no, the pipes are fine (mostly). They have calcium buildup that prevents lead leeching.

    The REAL major source of lead poisoning in the Empire is much stupider - knowingly making wine syrup in lead pots because the lead makes it taste sweeter. Despite knowing that lead is toxic af.

    There's probably an apt comparison in that to Reddit as well.
