      I think people 😘 find them more obnoxious 😱 than informative, and rate 💯 opinions higher than 😜 emotional reactions, because emotions are 🤑 cheap and add nothing to a constructive 🏗️ discussion

        Most Emojis are useless, but many actually transfer the tone of a scentence, do they make sense. You simply dont need 99% of them.
