I'm somewhat young (maybe ridiculously so). I'm not a huge fan of emoji and find this page very hard to read (why the hell do you need a pictogram to illustrate a word you just wrote?!), yet I think it's useful for efficient information transfer ("maximal accessibility") for documents to not purely consist of dry, plain walls of text. A few human touches here and there can be effective for navigation within a document through differentiation (not everything looking the same). Emojis in headlines are the easiest way of achieving that.

No you're not old, you are just not ridiculously young. :)
I agree though, use of emoji outside talking to your friend, to me, is an instant warning of immaturity, and a flag of more to come.
The OP post was horrendous to look at, I'm not sure why anyone thought that it would help with understanding the content.
