More choices mean more uncertainty in user satisfaction with their own choice.
Can't find the video but if you give people the choice of 1 jellybean out of 3, after they pick one, they're usually satisfied with their first choice.
Now offer 20 varieties. Most people will be less certain they made the right choice on the first jellybean.
Not that it applies to emojis... But still a cool lesson.
