When people claim something is automatically right because a large number of people are saying it. You can have a scenario with a hundred idiots and all their mates vs 1 clever person on their own. The karma system on reddit is probably the most egregious implementation of this idea tbh since people blindly assume upvotes = 100% correct in all scenarios
Person A: that game has bad reviews so it must suck. All my mates said it suck so it must be true
Person B: have you played it yourself? Sounds like Ad Populum to me
Person A: huh?

Get the Ad Populummug. Hatriotic version of (argumentum) ad hominem. Whilst "(argumentum) ad hominem" is a fallacious argumentative strategy marked by the avoidance of a genuine discussion of a topic by attacking an attribute of the person making an argument instead of the argument itself, "ad hom of him" is a phrase preferably used over "(argumentum) ad hominem" when attacking a certain individual using Latin and failing miserably at it.

Get the ad hom of himmug. "You can sit and watch a documentary-video on YouTube for extended periods with little or no advertisement-interruption, but then just as soon as you turn up da speaker-volume and go into da next room to take a dump, a whole bunch of ads will come along and you'll hafta endure listening mostly to them while yer poopin', rather than da video-commentary you'd wanted to hear.
Due in large part to da pesky "Murphy's Law of YouTube Ads", a few more-affluent citizens who live alone actually hire a full-or-part-time "Jeeves" for da sole purpose of being an ad-skip assistant.

Get the Murphy's Law of YouTube Adsmug. Hym "He isn't even selling the Peterson Academy TO THE STUDENTS. He's talking straight TO the employees! The ad is literally HIM (Not me Hym but HIM, him) selling the students TO the employers BEFORE HE EVEN HAS ANY STUDENTS! 'I don't have any mandingos NOW but when I do they'll be the best mandingos around! So buy-er "hire them preferentially" from me! MY mandingos will be high in trait conscientiousness and general cognitive ability' It's insane! And I would know! I mean, at least when I dehumanize people THEY have (on some level) dehumanized ME FIRST! But he doesn't even acknowledge the students as a reality. What are the students getting? I still don't know."
