they do it in place of a check, sometimes to get a raise (which we always want to do), but sometimes its an extremely weak bluff to push somebody out of a pot. (and it works)

stupid? pointless? EV-? Should I do it?

You can get a reraise by making a smallish defensive looking bet but minbet is just silly. Just check/raise. Edit: unless you can find an opponent you can annoy into raising.

Some people simply refuse to check. They will min-bet bluff and continue to lead out min-bets with bottom pair, even though they get raised every card. I guess they read the first paragraph of some poker book about aggression being the key to victory, and stopped reading right there.
