What's the Purpose Behind This Viral Internet Mystery?

What this episode covers

In 2018, strange Craigslist ads began appearing online with cryptic text. Each listing had one thing in common: a simple hashtag. What started as a local oddity expanded into an online mystery with possible connections to artists and other mysteries, like Erratas. Today we discuss the confusing and enigmatic #PrayForDave.
