These just about symbolise everything wrong with the modern web.

Whereas the humble ascii emoticon was a fun exercise in pareidolia--as an
emotional aside to whimsically add a little lightness to proper writing, they
have now been standardised, streamlined and commercialised, and are used as a
substitute for proper writing, turning everything they're supposed to
represent into a lie--a Web of lies.

Popularity seems to be the death-knell for anything cute, quirky, quaint, or
mildly amusing with its initial charm being brutally curb-stomped by the one-
size-fits-all boot of commercial interests.

First of all, I absolutely loathe emojis and hate that they are on by default
with no (easy) way to disable (turn into flat glyphs in the color of the text,
not :some_stupid_name: as some applications offer).

Having dozens of sets of emojis that look quite different doesn't help either
(on web in particular). And there's not that much coherence within the sets
either. Apple in particular is really bad at this. For example, beer[1] looks
like a photo, whereas crap[2] is in a completely different style. Each
individual one can be nice and well thought out, but it makes them all look
bad if they don't fit together.

(Twitter's are much better in this regard)
