Easy.
Forming judgements is hard. Evaluating facts and converting them to your preferences takes time, energy, and some qualifications. Taking the ready-made value judgment someone is offering you with a ribbon on top is a low-effort path.
No, this is too self-serving. The most realistic interpretation is usually the one that does not make you feel better than others. I would propose this: http://lesswrong.com/lw/m7l/we_should_introduce_ourselves_differently/ce51
Why is it self-serving? I do the same thing myself if, say, I need to buy something I don't care much about. Let's say I need to buy X, I run a quick Google search, so... people say they like brand Y, second review? they still like brand Y, OK, whatever, done. Quick and easy.
