I will occasionally flag things that will result in discussions that are always the same because I'm tired of them. Stories about tipping at restaurants or Trump or Biden, for example -- literally every argument for or against has been made and there's nothing new or interesting to say. But I'm more likely to hide them.

Why would one ever flag stories they believe will result in the same useless discussions rather than just hiding them?

I think I've only ever flagged one or two instances of spam personally.

I would also include the periodic Monty Hall re-post (everything that ever comes up in the discussions can be found in the Monty Hall problem wikipedia page).

And also pretty much any article about inflation.
