Reading comments in different communities, I noticed that users hardly leave smilies. Why is that?

In msn messenger emoticons were what emojis are today. So to me emoticons and emojis are the same… i dont what to call the things op refers to… maybe ASCII emoticons?

Edit: turns out im wrong https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon

Edit: sort of wrong… emojis are also officially called emoticons
