## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

> When I find something worth sharing, I tap the share icon in Chrome on my phone. That's it. On my desktop I click the little link icon in Arc's browser bar, or I just double-click the address bar and hit command-C command-V. I've never once looked at a row of branded social icons at the bottom of a blog post and thought, "Oh good, there's the Facebook button."
> 
> I think most people are the same way. And I think the data backs that up.



> And here's the thing that should settle this for good: in November 2025, Meta announced it was [permanently discontinuing its external Like, Share, and Comment buttons](https://freshjuice.dev/blog/social-share-buttons-are-dead/) for third-party websites.
