Sorry, if this isn't the right place for this but I didn't see any rules about it so I just wanted to ask:

Are people generally still buying IDW physical copies of books like the Optimus Prime Vols?

If I remember correctly, I think that the Phase Three collection hardcovers ended while containing some stories from the Optimus Prime vols but not all of them since I bought Vols 3, 4, and 5 before. Now I am trying to sell my collection, but I haven't had a single view and it's been a while....

I already sold all my hardcover collections, now I'm trying to get rid of all the leftovers.

Also for some reason I have a copy of 'Till All Are One, Vol 2' only, I think it got sent to me before on accident and I never got around to returning it or selling it. I also am trying to sell the graphic novel collection of 'Last Bot Standing.'

The prices I have set on eBay are MUCH lower than others for the same book but I'm not getting any views. Are people not interested at all in collecting these anymore?

Please let me know what you think.

Would I count as a full-time student during a semester that is just clinical placement + one distance liberal arts course, especially if clinical placement does not last the full usual semester? Can I apply for OSAP for a clinical placement semester? Please let me know how it worked for you generally. Especially if you have completed the CVT program semester three.

I would like to start getting into audio dramas but I have some questions.

First, are you able to download audio dramas when you legally buy them? I understand why websites may not let you, because they do not want people spreading it around, but I have a lot of anxiety about censorship getting worse, so I would like to know if I buy something I can actually keep it archived and safe. I don't think I am ready to listen to them in Chinese but I have a lot of FOMO so I want to basically collect a few. There's no point if they can just be taken away or altered though.

I understand that audio dramas have been getting censored lately, but I think they can mostly still reference romance.

Also which websites are the best and safest for audio dramas? I tried to check out some free episodes on missevan but for some reason the audio seemed kind of... glitchy? It didn't sound right. Has anyone had that problem?

Any advice for a beginner would be good.

I read danmei for the romance, so I prefer it to be heavily focused on, but I have seen people recommend some danmei that they say would still be overall worth reading even if there was no romance. I wouldn't mind reading some of these to break up my reading, since reading too much of one kind of thing can end up making me bored with it. I wouldn't mind having a few light romance, heavy/unique plot stories to break up the more relationship-focused stories. Overall I'm just curious which danmei people feel is still worth reading even if the romance was more lightly present (but still present, I'm not asking for general book recs, still danmei)

When I'm on YouTube I sometimes see a pet video of a dog or cat doing something silly and then I read the comments and there are people saying it's AI and noting all the details of the background that are wrong/off. I never notice AI videos like this because I do not comprehend why anyone would want to create a AI video of something like a husky howling when there are so many real videos already. I can understand that some people want attention but if people are noticing it is AI anyway, all it seems to do is annoy people, so nobody can be getting too much AD revenue or noteworthy attention anyway.

Sometimes I see people defend these videos by saying "oh it's just cute so I don't care," which is also confusing to me, because I like to know if the thing I am seeing is real or not. I outright just hate AI but I could at least understand if the AI videos are showing something impossible or difficult to replicate in real life but why make AI videos of a cat meowing a lot or something else mundane and stupid like that.
