Offtopic: after copying a value, an unrelated emoji is added to a status message. E.g.: "copied ;-)", "copied ;-*" or "copied :unicorn:".

It seems confusing to me and I don't like it. But I see how it could boost engagement.

I wonder how many more emojis we need to see until a "emoji-block" browser plugin becomes mainstream.
