“Argumentum ad populum” is the tendency to agree/disagree on something based on peer pressure.

Don't get fooled by it. Make up your own opinion instead of getting washed away by the crowd.

The majority is not necessarily always correct.

Moreover, if you try to say you're right because more people agree with you, you're being obnoxious.
