Some perhaps don't realize that Apple doesn't create the emojis.

They do however waste half of the keynotes talking about them.
Agreed. It also seems like there's more and more that no one would ever use, and very few you'd think they would have. Just try to find a collection infants, nursing babies, etc. I think there was one so-so choice when I last looked. (I was sending a congrats text to my daughter after she gave birth)
Actually psychologists are.

Emoji are Tim cook’s iPhone; a perfect example of his most paramount contributions to the company

It's actually good to see that Apple and the Unicode peeps aren't just catering to the SJW community, but also to fans of Jordan Peterson.
I think that you should be able to “hide” unused ones...
Like a few of the flags of places you’ll never reference, etc.
I'd prefer a whitelist/favorites tab, rather than having to blacklist ones you don't want but, yeah, I agree.
But boy do they spend time marketing the hell out of them and designing products showcasing them (hi TouchBar!).
I tend to ignore links used as arguments alone. Use whatever content is in the link to synthesize your own argument regarding the topic at hand, which is specifically whether emoji will replace the English language, using the link (and any others) as a source. It’s not my job to form your argument in my head on your behalf.
Because if you don’t do that, how do I know that you didn’t find some random link on the Google machine and paste it here without first checking to see whether it’s relevant to the discussion and supportive of your own viewpoint?
Since emoji will apparently replace the English language, please provide your response in emoji only.

Ahh, damn that marketing department for trying to market something to the general public who like and use the feature.
I wouldn't say "damn them," but I certainly feel there is nothing wrong with a consumer (one who is a fan and spends thousands and thousands of dollars on Apple gear) mildly criticizing the focus (or lack thereof) of the company.
Why someone would choose to die on this particular hill defending Apple is beyond me, but cheers.
That's funny, because that's exactly how I feel about this comment.
