The social buttons are here to stay because the people in charge are desperate for traffic. That is the #1 reason, desperation. Sometimes they end up including them 2 or 3 times on the same page. We can thank people like mashable and huffington post for the bad habits.
Perhaps in a few years the madness will stop and people will focus more on fast loading websites, good content, and a good user experience.
Or maybe I'm wishful thinking.
- thenomad 14y agoSorry to disagree here, but it's not quite that simple. The buttons are here to stay because people want traffic and _buttons measurably increase traffic_. I hope that they get faster and more friendly, but until they stop providing a traffic boost, bloggers will keep using them.
