I had a couple thoughts about this. One theory is that he is trying to reach some kind of post-per-day quota. I can barely keep up with 3 completely unrelated discussions at the same time. That's a lot of context to remember but he is often posting in like a dozen threads at the same time. If he has some kind of quota to meet a lot of it will be out of context. It's impossible to remember the context of a dozen different discussions at the same time. It's easier to just spam out of context stuff.

Another theory I have is that there is some kind of cultural element at play. Perhaps Chinese etiquette is different from western etiquette. Perhaps this kind of wanton spamming is acceptable forum etiquette among non-westernized Chinese people.
