Fans caused a surprising outage on Netflix, even though the streaming service didn’t release any new content that day. This happened because a widespread online rumor claimed a secret episode of Stranger Things would drop at 8 P.M. Eastern Time on January 7th. It turned out the rumor wasn’t true, but millions of people still tried logging on to check, just in case.
Many fans of Stranger Things believe the New Year’s Eve finale wasn’t the true ending of the show. Theories quickly spread on TikTok, YouTube, X, and other platforms under the hashtag #conformitygate, suggesting that most of Season 5 was a fake-out and the real finale is coming out today. These theories point to specific scenes as ‘proof’ of this.
A conspiracy theory circulated online, focusing on the number nine appearing repeatedly in a scene – on dominoes, posters, and even encoded in Morse code on cassette tapes. Theorists believed this hinted at January 7th as the release date for a supposed “true finale.” It appears many viewers couldn’t resist checking Netflix at the same time, eager to participate in the online trend, which proved more captivating and widespread than the show’s villain, Vecna, could have ever achieved on his own.
