This is bad. If you want some emotional art therapy, go actually watch something, whether it's something you already appreciate or something new that you are willing to try. Content poaching wrapped up as pseudoscientific wellness product is just exploitative.

Jesus Christ you must be not fun at parties

OP is right. Short-form content for everything is dangerous and should be avoided. It serves no purpose

I probably do need a good cry since my breath does that repeated-hesitation thing when I breathe in sometimes (not sure if there’s a name for it yet, but you also do it for a while after you’re done crying, I call it “aftershocks” then… but this is like, all the time for me now…)

Interesting. I'd be curious to know if crying helps it at all. It could be anxiety or stress related. Have you tried breathing exercises?

This is just scientifically false. Emotions only last for 90 seconds and short-form content can indeed be beneficial. Studies show even a two minute experience can break the cycle of negative rumination.
