We've all seen what mob mentality can do in a negative way, but we never thing of the positive things it can do in order to help someone or even boost your online sales. Yes, mob mentality isn't always a bad thing for you or someone else, it can actually produce great things in a short amount of time and even change the world if it were to scale up large enough!
Mob mentality is essentially a lot of followers clinging to what the majority of others are at the moment. Think of when someone goes into the streets after their favorite sports team wins it all and they decide to light a car on fire. The mentality will spread and others will get into the mix and start breaking windows and flipping cars, which is a horrible thing to witness. These people essentially think "Well, if they're doing it, why can't I?" and that mentality spreads like wild fire.
On the other hand, the good side of mob mentality is rarely seen because there is so much hate within this world, but it's still here. Think of all the times you've seen someone raise money for cancer treatment or to save a farm, that's positive mob mentality and it's what this discussion is all about 
The majority of people are followers
This is a good and bad thing when you think about it. If your initial wave of reviews are positive, people will tend to latch onto that and look for the good in your products or services, then they'll leave similar reviews. On the other hand, if your initial wave of reviews are negative, you likely won't get many sales but the ones who do purchase will probably leave reviews that aren't great.
Peple want to follow others who have already experienced what you want to. If you can build your business so it has a lot of followers, who are positive of course, you will gain an exponential amount of new followers simply because you already have high numbers lol.
More followers = More trust
This isn't anything new actually, becuase it can be seen all over facebook to Twitter and even on Instagram and Pinterest. The more followers someone has on their social media profile, the more trust they inevitably have with strangers who hadn't thought about following them yesterday. This is because the stranger will land on the profile and see that X,XXX,XXX amount of random people have already followed the profile they're looking at, which will boost their trust in the profile and that usually results in a person following the profiles since all of these others have already done it.
Online reviews encourage others to sign up
When someone leaves a positive review online for your business or website it encourages others to leave reviews after their experience with your business or website. People will also make a purchasing decision based on what others have already said about your services or products, proving that mob mentality lives strong in a positive way
In conclusion
When people think of mob mentality, they always think of riots that are burning down cities, but that's not the only time it's seen. Yes, mob mentality can be seen in a positive way to actually boost your own success, and if you read through this discussion you would have seen a few reasons why that is so lol If you can build a dedicated following, it will only get bigger and bigger over time, just like the snowball effect but in a good way

Exactly lol. Too many people are blind followers because of what others have liked. It doesn't take long to do some research and figure out what you're about to follow, but not many people do it since it's free to click that "Subscribe" or "follow" button and then make a purchase later on when you eventually see an ad or post from said company lol.
I've actually followed companies that I have never heard of, but it's not because of the number of followers the company had, it was because I was honestly interested and wanted to see what they were all about lol. I purchased from some of them later on after doing some research, but the majority don't get my money, and I still follow them haha :D
It's easy to follow a company, especially on social media, because it's free and you don't have to worry about getting spammed due to how the platforms are set up. Sure, you might see those companies post more often through your homepage newsfeed, but they won't show up as ads every single time unless you're the type of person they're targeting.
It's sad that people are followers, but it's good for us marketers because we can usually profit off of the people who aren't doing the research prior to signing up for our services or buying our products lol :D

I think Twitter is by far the best example of “mob mentality”. And as you say, that's not really a bad thing.
[size=100]I'm fully aware of mob mentality; it's negatives and its positives. When it's negative we call it “mob mentality”. When it's positive, we call it “collective thinking”. LOL. :D I think Twitter is by far the best example of “mob mentality”. And as you say, that's not really a bad thing.[/size]
