Bandwagon Effect
The more people who believe something, the more likely it is that other people will believe it, too. Information doesn’t become more true or more false because lots of people believe it, but your brain doesn’t know that. Your mom always said,
“If everybody jumped off a bridge, would you do it,
too?” (Because all the other moms say that.)
This is why you should usually show how many people have Liked, registered for, or shared something. It’s also why informercials say garbage like “a million people can’t be wrong!”
