Why are Adobe forums being shared?

Question

I'll admit I'm old fashioned and don't use or trust social networks much, but do we really need our requests for help with Adobe products being so easily shared with all of these companies? (Listed below, copied from the share module on the left of the content list) Is Adobe getting kickbacks from them or something? This seems to have no real benefit to the users of the help forums. If someone really wants to share a post, can't they just copy the url like we did in the good ole days before fbook? I don't remember anything in the privacy policy about my posts appearing on facebook and every other frickin social network on the planet.
These forums should allow knowledgeable people to be able to easily find our questions AND be able to easily reply to them so we can get on with our work.
Lose the stupid social and share crap already and focus on a forum that works properly.

Answer 1

Yea, I'm guessing probably to many links and they didn't want to check them all out as being safe or something. Okay I get that. But maybe just strip the anchor tag and leave the text next time? Kinda lost my entire point without them.
I know the posts show up on google, I use that resource to find answers and have no problem with that, but I've never even heard of 1/4 of these so called social sites. One of my concerns is that if someone answers a tough question that started here at one of those sites then we could be left for weeks, months, etc. without an answer to something we are following here, unless of course you also follow that particular site.
The share module is up right of the first post. Click the more link to see them all. I've copied those 300 companies/links again and will try to paste again as plain text. Sorry they were all bunched together, I separated a few and stopped cause it's taking so long. But this gives you an idea of what i mean. To be fair not all are companies, i.e. print, mail, etc. It just seems like a fad to add these social plugins to sites and I don't get it. I hope it wont hurt the function of the forum just so fbook and twitter gets more hits.
