First of all, I was proving your point. The potato emoji is utterly useless and only serves its purpose as a dumbed-down meme easter egg whose only reason it exists is because some users couldn't have pinpointed its inutility and as such deemed it useful for Scratch, whilst the site has far worse problems that have to be addressed.
Such suggestions exist solely for the purpose of delaying the production process of what Scratchers actually need. Not only is this suggestion the most useless, coward and lazy suggestion on the site, it is also harmful to the development of far more important features. Call it a “labour-type procrastination” if you will, since you're working on a feature by delaying far more important ones, such as dark mode.

Second of all, I believe not only this emoji to be utterly useless, I believe that each and every single emoji, if added without meaning, is useless. It would make more sense for there to be added an emoji with a guy pulling a Kurt Cobain rather than a potato or tomato or Danny DeVito emoji, as the former actually expresses an emotion, albeit not a positive one.
Using emojis in the way you have expressed in your example sentence is mostly done by old people and social media advertisers. Mind you, most people do not speak like such individuals. And since this emoji is something that the OP wants to be used in the way you have specified, this makes the emoji absolutely deprived of purpose.

Then, you go and mention my signature. In primis, have you ever heard of irony? She's an emo. She always says that nobody understands her. And I guess she's right on that one, and you're the living proof of it.
In secundis, why are you using ad hominem tactics to discredit what I've said? Is it not enough for you to simply refute my point ( which was not in contradiction with yours anyways ) instead of bringing up matters regarding my online sphere, such as the way I have presented myself? When you can only see my profile picture and a wall of text how can you come to the conclusion that I mean what I say?

Same for the waffle emoji. Scratch still added it.

It's actually baffling how there's a post THIS LONG on a page about a POTATO EMOJI lol. Support. There are LITERALLY no downsides. Do I think this will happen? Probably not. You know Scratch Team. Even a POTATO EMOJI is too hard for them to add.

Just because you will not use it doesn't mean others will not use it. If this was implemented, I would use it maybe for my Potato Day Project.

But can't you already add emojis to projects?
