I agree. It's felt like a lot of online forums are starting to become Quora where it's all self-promotion thinly veiled as adding to the conversation. It reminds me of PG's The Submarine blog post (http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html)

As the OP is about an app for stress and anxiety, promoting similar apps doesn't seem all that unreasonable.

I disagree and it seemed like a genuine comment to me as breathing exercises seem similar to eye exercises to me.

GP’s site is just a non-commercialized prototype so seems more like showing vis level of interest vs self promotion.

I feel you. But it's not a product. Not anything I'm doing anything with. Just thought it might be an interesting thing for the OP to integrate into his app.
