"Recurring talking points" happen in the first place because new people brings up already discussed topics.

Basically no one enjoys repeating themselves over and over if they can help it, but there are only so many effective combinations of words you can use to talk about the same topics, and giving up on speaking about them can conversely let the topic die and be perceived as something "Not interesting/important enough".

Hell, the whole "We already discussed this topic here: *copy-pasted link* " you see on many forums is a behavior that exists precisely as a subtle substitute for "Yeah, this is an argument many of us care about, but FUCK IT if I'm going to repeat myself for the 1000th time just because you didn't look around before posting".
