Alton Brown always says to pull them out and throw them away. I’m not really sure why they even include them anymore.

Because there are more than just my buddy out there that believes in them.  I even bought him a thermoworks thermometer to use but he still won't take it out of the oven unless that bloody red dot pops up. :-\  Really dry turkey every time.

I don't use them, but I don't take them out.
My thought is taking them out will let juices out and provide a place for the heat to dry out the meat.

Useless, in my humble opinion if you rely on them you might as well cook your food in the microwave.

 I had a good laugh.  I was grocery shopping when I spotted a pack of 2 of these thermometers. I just had to have a look.  The instructions stated that the bird would be done when the pop-up emerged....

 No wonder some newcomers to cooking could be turned off attempting to cook their first turkey if they were using this as a guide.
