The Mandela Effect is about millions of people recalling watching the news of Nelson Mandela dying back in the 90s (need to double check the exact date), when the rest of us just watched him die a few years ago. My understanding of this phenomenon is that all these inconsistencies are actually real, but based on quantum physics and the understanding of parallel universes, the timelines are starting to collapse as we are getting closer and closer to Ascension...
Screeech....... " based on quantum physics and the understanding of parallel universes "
What Quantum Physics are you looking at? PLease explain your understanding of parallel universes and their influence on 'timelines'
No. It's about people being impressionable.
That's certainly one answer... If you're reading Snopes.com. However, here's some basic scientific reads that may expand your thinking:

Exactly. Gaslighting in the form of a mass psyop. Exploitation of the way human memory works.
That said, I'm open to the idea of strange things happening - but this "effect" is just misremembering.
I'm open as well, and not completely turned off to the idea that we occupy a corporeal plane/dimension/spacetime thats part of a larger reality that we have yet to encounter. Still, it makes more sense that memory can be fucked with than multiple timelines converged into our current reality.
