You are not. At the very end of the article, right after "Happy emoji-ing!" I had to zoom in to see what they were. Previously, I could have seen them without issue due to the color variation. This is a step backwards.
Some of them seem specially hard to read. I mistook the phone emoji for a "missing character" symbol, the baby emoji for a hand and the dancing emoji for an Among Us crewmate with Elvis hair. The monkeys at the end also looked like some sort of ear at first glance. I like the idea, and most of the emojis featured in the article seem to be mostly fine at small sizes, but some of them don't really seem optimized enough to be recognizable at smaller text sizes.
