Isn't this kind of fake physics called "Woo"?

I think woo usually involves claims about how some pseudoscience nonsense can impact an average person's life. The multiverse isn't used in this way, from what I've seen.
There is a bit, for example: https://www.consciouslifestylemag.com/quantum-jumping-shift-...

But it’s definitely not very common.

Oh yeah, there is tons of various "quantum" woo. Deepak Chopra comes to mind as one of the well-known worst offenders. But I think that is separate from the OP, which seemed to mostly be about the multiverse (and actual physicists).
