Social Share Button Rant

This seems like a small thing but it can lose sales. In the past 10 minutes I visited 2 websites that I was interested in. I might have signed up for their email list, or a product, or shared them on social media — but I didn’t do any of those things. Why?

BECAUSE I COULDN’T READ THE FLIPPING LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE FOR ALL THE SOCIAL SHARE BUTTONS!

Seriously, what good do those share buttons do if your reader can’t read your content because the stupid buttons overlap it?! And this was on a laptop, not a mobile device. Geez people, test your websites.
