that they claim are in trouble. They just want to be seen as a person who cares, so they believe any old shit they think will make them look like that.
See, from when this came up, "No, Wayfair's Industrial Storage Units Do Not Come With Bonus Mole Children":
This all started yesterday, when Reddit user PrincessPeach1987 posted a query to r/conspiracy wondering if it were possible that some very expensive storage units on Wayfair were a cover for a child trafficking operation. Just a normal question anyone would ask!
...
Several of the believers even went so far as to look up whether or not girls with the same names as these cabinets lined up with girls who were missing. And because there really are so many children who go missing every year, they had some luck. Except one of the girls they believed was in one of these storage cabinets was no longer "missing." The very surprised girl did a video (not from a Wayfair storage unit) expressing her displeasure at a bunch of strangers on the internet claiming she was a part of a sex trafficking ring.
Said strangers were very mad at her for being so rude. After all, they were just concerned for her welfare and that maybe she was trapped in a very expensive storage cabinet being sold on Wayfair.com.
One even suggested that maybe she is a clone, because that's where we're at now with this crap. It is actually more plausible to someone that this girl is a clone than that they are wrong.

He's compared it to the Satanic Panic of the 90s, which he's looked into in detail. People want an easy way of looking virtuous, and often do that by imagining (or agreeing with someone else' fantasy) a really, really evil thing that's going on, so they can say "I'm against this". They don't have to actually
do anything to stop it, because it's not happening, but they do get to say to everyone else "why don't you care about children" (or whatever) "as much as I do? I must be a better person than you."
