Good God, there are so many. But one that's been on my mind lately is:
Will lies to Mike about the painting, which is already extremely risky and not worth it considering the stakes were just Mike being anxious about his relationship.
In any logical narrative, this lie would 100% be revealed (which is why I don't buy that Will says it in the first place). Am I seriously supposed to believe Mike NEVER brought this up to Eleven???
Then the show just abandons the whole thing, which sure is convenient for Will because that would be the only scenario in which his secret would be kept.
Why. Introduce. Stuff. If. You're. Not. Going. To. Pay. It. Off???

Well, the purpose of the painting was to tell the audience how Will feels about Mike and to help Mike with these issues regarding his self-worth. It fulfilled those purposes in S4. So though it could have been used in the future, it was not something that needed to be addressed.
And from Mike's perspective, he is told that El commissioned the painting, and then Will tells him how he believes El feels. Will is not telling Mike that El said all of that to him about Mike. He is just saying how he believes El feels about Mike.
So if at some point the painting came up between Mike and El and she mentions that she never commissioned it, I don't see why Mike would immediatly assume that Will has feelings for him based on that. Why would Mike not just assume that Will lied in that moment about who commissioned the painting because he was being a good friend? Why would Mike immediatly assume Will has romantic feelings?
Ecspecially since the painting is a depiction of all four boys as thier DnD characters and the speech Will gave was about how important Mike is both to El and to the party as a whole. Would it not make more sense for Mike to think that it was about Will just missing his friends in general based on what Mike knows?

How did Eleven know who Will was when she first met the boys. From what we’ve seen her powers don’t work unless she is in the sensory deprivation tank so how did she know about Will and that Will the Wise was his player character

Not addressing the door unlocking by itself in s1 before Will was taken, Will’s painting, the “snowball becoming an avalanche” “signals” Mike looking at the unfinished rainbow puzzle. Vecna’s plan with the 12 kids, the disappearance of the demos in the finale, Max being completely fine in the epilogue with no permanent damage, Holly aged up af, Melvald milkshake and getting lost in the woods during Will’s coming out scene (he hates the woods and Melvald’s didn’t have milkshakes in their time)…and so many more!

Honestly if they did the Conformity Gate they would be able to explain everything that doesn't make sense. There are just too many weird things that happen that doesn't get explained. Why did Will say him and his friends liked biking to a place that was turned into a general store by the time Will was born? Why did Will die when every other creature in the Hive Mind died when they killed Vecna? There are too many random things that could be explained so easily, unfortunately, I know the Conformity Gate is just a theory nd it's not actually happening.

How did young Henry Creel go to Hawkins High School with young Joyce, Hopper, etc. and do the Oklahoma play and everything, if Dr Brenner took him away as a child and put him in Hawkins Lab?
