‘I Cried’ YouTube Button Lets the Internet Know When You’re Sad

Google already did research to find the funniest YouTube video of all time, but what about the saddest? What videos make you break down like James Van Der Beek on Dawson’s Creek?

Thanks to Project Goodcry, now you can mark YouTube videos as sad with the “I cried” button, available as a plug-in for Google Chrome. Getting choked up when they finally put Rudy in at the end of the game? The plug-in lets you see that 129 people found the clip as much of a tear-jerker as you did. Press the button and you can even rank its level of sadness from one to five tears.

The statistics are then saved and compiled in a database created by project founders Dee Kim and Bistin Chen. Check out the Project Goodcry website and you’ll find a ranking of the Internet’s saddest videos.
