They can be fun for fandoms of things that don’t produce a lot of new material. For example, Pink Floyd haven’t put out much music over the last decade. So, there end up being a lot of people ranking the albums on a tier list, or debating which album is the most underrated. A “wrong answers only” post can break up the monotony.
As others have said, it’s literally just for fun and to see what the funniest answers are. Kind of like those “someone unfamiliar with [fandom] tell me what’s going on in this picture” memes/games.
I guess it is supposed to be like a game where you write a funny caption to go with an image. I personally never participate in those, just because the phrase, “wrong answers only,” annoys me.

Ok but I love to ask what does this acronym stand for, wrong answers only. It’s really fun.
What does OP stand for, wrong answers only

It’s supposed to be fun and humorous, something a lot of people on Reddit don’t have any concept of.
It’s for humor, not useful information.

You forgot to mark your post “wrong answers only”, but don’t worry: We all understood the assignment.
Some people are genuinely hilarious and sometimes it results in some fantastic brilliance.
Makes people laugh

It’s just funny is all
Because submarines do not have screen doors.
Humor

It’s for fun.
Low hanging fruit for yucks.
Want it to be funny
Creativity?
It’s not it’s supposed to be funny. Way to kill the vibe Francis. LOL
It’s easier to find the right answer if you list all the wrong ones.
Because it’s funny

Practice creativity. Both by exercising it and by observing others.
If you accumulate every wrong answer to a question you must be left with the right answer in the end.
Absurdism
You don’t know until you know.
Nobody ever does post the wrong answer, though it’s like the right answer would be funnier
