> How is the original sentence meaningless? "We think you will like this" (rephrasing) definitely has a meaning.

The original sentence is meaningless because it's marketing drivel. In a sales context, this is literally the only thing they can say.

Thus in an information theoretic sense the "We think you will love this" (the original phrasing) conveys exactly zero additional information besides what can be gleaned from the identity of the speaker.
