Hitachi story made me cry. Having my best friend here right now (Yorkshire), working with me, is especially hard to watch.
I don't think I have ever cried harder than the movie Hachiko

#212Marley and me, just did it for me.. I don't think I've ever cried like this since I was a kid.
I love to hear that. Hope it helped you feel an emotional release after all these years.

The Vimeo logo in the video is a link to the video on vimeo.com.
The first video I got didn’t have the vimeo logo in the controls. I guess the play size was too small? Others have had it, but I can’t seem to find that first one at all.
Hmm maybe it doesn't show on mobile? You can also copy and paste the description on youtube. You should be able to find them there.

#214I haven't felt anything in years. I am dead inside.
You're who I made the site for. Keep trying!

#215I actually prefer to laugh
You can do both! I actually find that when I let myself cry more, it expands my capacity for more joy and laughter.

#216> Studies show crying can relieve stress for a week. Correlation, causation, etc? I.e. I can easily imagine that, if something is seriously weighting on your mind, opening up about it and even crying would reduce stress. It might even be the other way: That once people get a moment to de-stress and get a chance to mentally process some devastating event, they will cry. I find it much harder to believe that just cryin…
Emotions aren't so black and white and I think both can be true. Sometimes letting yourself feel and release your emotions, even with something unrelated, opens up your capacity to confront something. The site is based on scientific and psychological research. There are plenty of studies but here is one if you want to check it out: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/benefits-of-a-good-cry-crying...

#218This 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.
It sounds like you need a good cry
I'm not arguing against having a good cry, I'm arguing for doing so by actually watching a whole movie or listening to a whole song instead of a an extract, kinda like the difference between eating some fruit and taking a shot of high fructose corn syrup.

It's not a covert ad, that's just my new project
It’s not clear why the page would link to the app if it isn’t to promote the app.
I mean the projects are connected. If you enjoyed cryonceaweek.com you will probably like https://www.feelapp.io. I guess it could be considered a funnel promotion but it's more me just trying to share a new project with people who use the previous one. It didn't always link to the app - I added that later after we launched the app page and waitlist.

I'm actually a filmmaker and highly value full length feature films. I'm not arguing against watching whole movies. But there is also value in short films, short form videos, and even just watching specific scenes of a film at times. If it makes you feel something meaningful that's all that matters. There is room for all types of experiences, no matter the length. Emotions only last for around 90 seconds so sometimes that's all you need in the moment. If you want a deeper or longer experience by all means please watch a full movie, I am not trying to stop you or anyone from doing that.
