Those low effort questions are often extremely popular though, which would imply that they are useful to a lot of people.

“Where is babby come from” would be a pretty popular question too, but it’s not the right forum.

I wish though that StackOverflow turned such questions into a chat/discussion instead of closing/deleting them. They have the tools to do that when comments start becoming too chatty.
