Ad Populum 

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?
