The reason repetitive, stupid questions are so common is because people are paid to ask them.
If you see an account with less than three coins asking such a question, odds are the account is being farmed for eventual sale.
If you see an account with a signature ad asking such questions, it's because signature ads typically pay by the post.

In other words, the apparent helplessness & cluelessness of this forum's users is just an illusion - they're simply using this forum to scratch out some extra cash.
Money is a great motivator, no matter how paltry the amount.
