This appears like frivolous comedy but if enough people see this, it has the potential to change discourse slightly on this topic. Most of the people who make this comments do so in earnest, thinking they’re contributing something valuable and original but after seeing this they’ll realise it’s not as original as they think.

Same repeated rehashed arguments are done for tribal recruitment. By making others more familiar and pushing agenda on unfamiliar people to be in your group.

I guess, it feels good to be acknowledged that you are correct and lead many others to the correct path.

Sometimes it’s hard to resist rehashing the same argument, even if you know you’re repeating it for the umpteenth time. Occasionally I even get new perspectives that way!
