I think social networking sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit are not as important these days because there are social networking sharing web browser extensions for people to easily share website links on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. Some smaller third-party web browsers even have social networking share buttons built-into the browser.
There are also now more desktop programs and mobile apps for Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and other social networks which visitors can easily use to share links, and articles on a website.
I read online that social networking share buttons can slowdown the page loading time of a website, and make visitor's use more of their expensive mobile data, so you end up annoying mobile users with long page load times, bandwidth usage, and slowdown problems.
Social sharing buttons' images, and scripts which increase your website load times may also lower your search engine rankings in Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines because some search engines put faster loading websites at higher search keyword positions for keywords like "gaming, video games, and television."
But, social sharing buttons could be important if you run a celebrity gossip, teenager lifestyle, large forum, or news website with a lot of visitors who maybe more likely to use social networking share buttons.
