Discussion What is Reddit's obsession (and normie leftists by default) with post history?

[Diddlium]

If you're bored enough and on Reddit, you'll probably notice that if you get into an argument with someone, they'll be guaranteed to eventually go through your post history, dig up something unrelated to the argument, make fun of it and everyone will chime in to deflect away.

Why is that?

This phenomenon isn't as widespread on other platforms where the post history is visible. Such "crossposting exposure" rarely happens on here, it hardly happens on Twitter and also rarely happens on Boomerbook. However it's very common practice on Reddit.

Any idea why that is?

Yeah but the question is what exactly is the trigger with this type of animal to act like this in the wild

I feel like Reddit people are largely terminally-online weirdos who are obsessed with Reddit. They have lots of time to read through someone's whole post history.

When people are unable to prove your point wrong, they instantly change the subject. That's because the argument you were engaging in was never about who's right or wrong, but instead about them winning at any cost to save their pride and ego, regardless if it's about the original topic at hand.
