Episode 12: The Wayfair Conspiracy – Cabinets, Codes, and the Algorithm Gone Rogue
In the summer of 2020, a Reddit post exploded with a claim that shook the internet: Wayfair was allegedly using overpriced industrial cabinets—each named after a missing child—as a cover for human trafficking. What started as a viral post became a full-blown conspiracy movement, merging QAnon rhetoric, pandemic paranoia, and a deep distrust of Big Tech and celebrity elites.
In this episode, Katie digs into the anatomy of the listings themselves—what made them so suspicious, how everyday users began cross-referencing product names with missing persons reports, and why those price tags hit a collective nerve. We’ll also explore how the theory spiraled, pulling in figures like Ellen DeGeneres, Tom Hanks, and the Clintons—along with wild accusations involving dark web transactions, secret codes, and alleged connections to the Diddy trial.
Was it all algorithmic coincidence? Or was it an eerie glimpse into how fast a digital witch hunt can take hold when nobody trusts the official answers?
