Briefly

What is Stranger Things's Conformity Gate craze  and why did it crash Netflix?
"Fuelled by energy drinks and pasty from lack of sunlight, fans of the show have been beavering away in basements around the world to produce a fantastical hypothesis that the finale's rather soupy 40-minute epilogue was all an illusion created by the show's mind-controlling villain Vecna. A secret final episode, showing what had really happened, would be released on 7 January, at 8pm US Eastern Time (1am in the UK)."
"Essentially, it involves some people sitting with their hands in their lap wearing orange graduation gowns, too many people wearing glasses, a roll of dice totalling seven, a dial changing colour, a wonky milkshake-timeline, strategically positioned exit signs, a woman having short hair, a door handle switching sides, a character missing some scars, and one of the characters remarking that the town of Hawkins feels different"
My 14-year-old daughter has adopted Conformity Gate, a fan conspiracy claiming the Stranger Things finale was not genuine. Fans argue the finale's 40-minute epilogue was an illusion engineered by Vecna and expect a secret true final episode to be released on 7 January at 8pm US Eastern Time (1am UK). Enthusiastic fans, fuelled by energy drinks and lack of sunlight, have combed the episode for clues. Cited evidence includes people sitting with hands in laps wearing orange gowns, excess glasses, a roll of dice totalling seven, a colour-changing dial, a wonky milkshake-timeline, strategically placed exit signs, haircut changes, a door handle swap, missing scars, and a character noting Hawkins feels different.
