We are indeed seeing a lot of those questions - and in particular, people playing with azure, making cloud VMs that do media fetching and transcoding, etc. | |

One of our original close reasons (specifically for "Home Use" questions: Questions about hardware or software used in a home setting are off-topic because they require answers that may not be practical for the business and support professionals here. You should try asking on Super User instead.

If we're seeing a lot of Really Bad home questions I wouldn't be opposed to asking for a 4th close reason to be activated though. | |
