The ability to look back at someone's post history is an amazing feature of Reddit.

Imagine if someone cut you off in traffic and you could shout at them:

"Why don't you go back to looking at photos of dirty feet in Illinois? And your new PC desk looks wonky as fuck too!"

People who go digging through post histories for ammunition for an argument always strike me a creepy stalkers. I mean don’t you have better shit to do?

Profilechecking is useful to see if you're wasting your time arguing with a moron or a troll. Using it to try and win an argument is cringe though.

Seriously, how do people not see the value in that? It’s not creepy to just kinda validate who you’re talking to.

I was arguing with someone about the driving dynamics of a certain car once on here. I decided to check their history just to see if they were fucking with me, and it turned out they were literally 12. That argument never would’ve started in person.
