fallacy

Answer 1

The fallacy that appeals to the popularity of an idea as its main argument is known as the **bandwagon fallacy** or **appeal to popularity**. It occurs when someone argues that a belief or action is justified simply because it is widely held or endorsed by a large number of people, rather than providing valid evidence or reasoning to support the claim.
