It makes no sense! If you want advice then take it, don't just choose the answer you most want to hear. You may as well not bother and just do what you were going to do anyway and don't waste other people's time.

Because they want to know that someone out there has the same idea as them. It helps to reassure them that they aren't doing something completely insane. I know because people always ask me for advice in their own lives and, even though what I'm telling them really is the best course of action, they still end up doing what they want to do.
People just want someone to agree with them so that they don't feel like a complete idiot when things go wrong and they can simply blame the people on Yahoo for giving them bad advice!

mob mentality, group mind, herd behavior, sheeple.
"Not knowing which of several options is best, a person may use others' choices as clues as to how to behave. While this can be reasonable, this behavior leaves open the possibility of random influences on choices."

I agree. I got a thumbs down on one of my answers, even though there wasn't anything wrong with what I said.Sometimes people aren't going to be happy unless they hear what they want to hear.

Because the other answers are just plain crap.I get stuff like 'go with your heart'and 'Jesus saves' and things like that.
People just want reassurance in there life much as I'm sure you do at times but won't admit to it.
