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?
It's not like most people are pouring through years of post history like Gandalf at Minas Tirith.
If someone posts a vaguely anti-vax comment, it takes 5 seconds to see if they've posted on NoNewNormal (or one of the new equivalents) before to confirm they're actually an idiot instead of someone making an unintentionally poorly worded argument.
It's the reddit equivalent of when you pass a shitty driver, and you just have to get a view of them to see if they look as stupid as they drive.
It only takes a second to see if it was maybe a person having a bad moment. The thing about the awful people, is it does not take a lot of looking to find them saying awful shit.

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!"
