Why do people post on games and topics that don't interest them?

I think it depends. If the person has actually played/seen/etc the thing in question and admits they didn't like it, it's an alright post in my opinion because they do know what they're talking about. Granted they shouldn't just post 'that sux lol' or something along those lines.
People have never played the game shouldn't post an opinion unless they admit they haven't played it and can't be sure, or are asking other's opinions. Post like 'I think Super Giant Robot Movie 5 looks fairly stupid from what I've seen. The characters seem like unoriginal stereotypes and the action looks lackluster at best' or 'I haven't played Red Second 392: The Beginning Of The End Of The Beginning, but it looks interesting. Is it any good?' would both be acceptable in my mind.

Posting on this thread will totally get my post count up. I am not in any way interested in this topic.

Because everybody's opinion is equally important.

Pfff, I can't keep a straight face while saying that!

On topic. Why am I posting in this thread, I have no interest in why people post on games and topics that don't interest them.
Seriously though, it's 'cos they have an opinion on it and are bored so they voice it. If that didn't happen it would be full of people saying "oh, how I love X and dislike Y", that isn't a discussion, it's not even a conversation.
I guess it's often an overwhelming desire for attention and/or trying to inflate their post count.
I have no idea, and I don't much care, either. I could decide to help flesh out the conversation, here, but I won't.
ALLOW ME TO BLUDGEON YOU WITH IRONIC STATEMENTS, SUBTLETY IS BEYOND MY GRASP.

It annoys me, but what I hate even more are the people who post that "vs. threads are looked down upon". Versus threads are looked down upon by some people, and they aren't against the rules, so STFU already. If you don't like the subject of a thread, but it isn't against the rules, don't post in that thread and if it is against the rules just report it and don't post in that thread.
It's just like the idiots that post in troll threads with stupid comments like "obvious troll is obvious" or some shit and the thread just keeps getting bumped. They don't actually care about stopping the troll, they just want to make themselves look good in comparison.

OT: It's just to add perspective to the conversation. There's no point in discussion if everyone had the same opinion. Although, people who just say a topic doesn't interest him/her and doesn't say why are equally as pointless.
