I've sometimes the feeling this addition of 'just my 2 cents' (or a variation on it) is a fake humility. The writer seems to think (hope) that people will think that his/her post isn't that worthless at all, but worth the read. Maybe they even hope to be praised for their post and their supposed humility, I don't know. So, it's not just this faux humilité but rather a hidden query for praise.
