The appeal to popularity fallacy occurs when someone argues that because something is popular or widely believed, it must be true or correct. For example, saying "Everyone is using this new diet fad, so it must work" is an appeal to popularity fallacy. Another example is "Most people believe in ghosts, so they must exist."
