"Brand Bad" behavior of people who promote the idea that only a "brand of information", source, author is credible. Who do not wish to fact-check and scrutinize each idea, but instead declare "Wikipedia is a bad source" (trying to dismiss the entire brand of source, instead of teaching that fact-checking citations and references is important no matter the source).

A form of nut-picking, were entire ideas are dismissed and thrown out because of mistakes, errors. And people who do not seek common ground in joining / merging / coming together with the best possible understanding - but instead want what "corporate overlords" desire among consumers: Brand Loyalty to a source / brand-mark.

A common example in USA is Rupert Murdoch's Fox News - where there is a constant emphasis in content that other news sources are all bad brands, and Elon Musk does this with his X media platform too.

Brand Bad

Studying the "Brand Bad" behavior of cultures and societies.

How people don't scrutinize ideas based on fact-checking of ideas, but instead are taught that "all of MSNBC news is bad", "all Muslims are bad", "all people of black skin color are bad", etc.

The behavior of people who do not wish to promote ideas that are good (regardless of brand identity), but instead "brand loyalty" selection and filtering. Which corporate overlords desire, brand loyalty.
