Why do peope insist on leaving answers that aren't helpful?

Is it just because they need to fulfill their childhood desire to be heard, or is it because they'll do anything it takes to get up to level 7, even if it means saying "Ew. Idk." when someone asks a serious question.

Which has never happened to me.

Seriously.

I've just seen it happen to other people.

    Free points? Big ego? Lonely? Has an agenda? Hiding behind the Internet? Actually think they ARE helpful?

    Take your pick. The reasons are many I think.
