Mind if I ask why you hate them so much? This is assuming they don't cover the content at all (I wouldn't do that). Even if they're beside the content, do you find them too distracting? Too difficult to focus on the content?

If I'm reading your content, I'm reading your content.

If I'm reading your content and your social fruit salad follows me around, I'm reading LIKE US ON FACEBOOK! UPVOTE US ON REDDIT! RETWEET US! POST US ON LINKEDIN, WE'RE NOT SURE WHY, BUT DO IT! LOVE US, LOVE US, LOVE US! OVER HERE! OVER HERE! TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS! PLEASE GOD GIVE US CLICKS! NO, NO, STOP LOOKING AT THE WRITING, WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ALL THAT LOREM IPSUM BULLSHIT WE WANT CLICKS! MORE CLICKS! MORE CLICKS!

and fuck that.
