An appeal to popularity is not really a logical fallacy if someone is arguing that something is (effectively) unpopular.

- cm2187 9y agoDepends if you define popular by most used or most liked. Most used: everyone pays taxes. Paying taxes is popular! A more practical example is javascript. I write some javascript, not because I like it (I hate it), but because that's the only way to make things happen in a browser. Javascript is popular. Does it mean it is liked / a good language?
