"Those grinning faces do not make you seem warmer, but they do make you look less competent."
In one experiment, participants were asked to read emails and rate them based on warmth and competence. Some of the messages contained a smiley face. The experiment also measured how much information was shared in participants' responses.
The results showed users who sent emails with smiley faces only saw a small rating increase in warmth, but a drop in competence. Meanwhile, participants were less likely to share information in response to an email with a smiley face than those without.
"Although smileys may help convey a positive tone in written messages, their adverse effects on first impressions of competence may outweigh these benefits..."

I'd like to see how high the price needs to be before this turbo asshole agrees to do a song that mocks him into the ground

Scientific study done that proves people who use smileys/emojis are incompetent buffoons with no self awareness: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1948550617720269?journalCode=sppa

Makes perfect sense. Smileys have the same effect as ironic t-shirts, elaborate haircuts, and leopard print stretch pants.

I never understood why his profile pic is of his daughter twirling around. Pretty suspect if you ask me

It’s footage of her spinning 360 degrees and walking away from him.
