A lot of teenagers use it for some reason. It's annoying because I'm a teenager myself, so I have to deal with my friends using it all the time. I went as far as ghosting some of my friends because they use annoying emotes all the time.
Ghosting your friends because they used too many emojis is kind of crazy
Well, it depends on how you interpret their emotes. They constantly use that clown emoji, and so on. I interpret it as "not interested in talking to you" because, uh, I can't explain why. It's kind of because of all the circumstances in which I use those emotes when talking to my friends. I interpret their intent as how mine would have been. I frankly can't take them as anything else; it's a flaw.
Also, I didn't just start ghosting them for just this reason; it was usually for a few other reasons as well. For example, one of my former friends had habituated herself to calling people slang like dumbfuck on a regular basis. But I don't use such words when talking to my friends; I find them harsh. I kind of used to get upset whenever she'd call me by such slang, even when I had done nothing that could hurt her. We simply aren't compatible enough to remain friends. Her constant use of such emojis was merely a cherry on top, but a considerable one.
I guess they think it’s funny 😭
Yep it is. Sorry I am GenZ
Me too 😭😭
Oh no it's spreading 😭
So sad 😭
Fortunately I see it for the first time, but I can imagine how annoying it is.
