I, for one, would love them to share it with us.
"One" what? (Once?)
Thank you.

I think people use it in place of, "in my opinion" or "that's how I feel." They're owning the opinion - not trying to speak for anyone else.
Like, if my husband asks the family "Should we have hamburgers tonight," I might say, "Well, I, for one, would prefer a salad." So I'm only answering for myself - not the group.
Hope I made sense. :-)

I'm only speaking for myself, but I believe some other people would agree.

I guess they mean as "supporter #1 of the following:"
Then again, nobody ever says, "...and I, for two, agree!"

"I", for one= one being yourself.
