Though it's not an answer to my question, yes, I think people do this to get
the attention of the readers or entice them; share the article immediately
after reading only the title.

I once implemented buttons that follow the reader while they scroll the
page, but I was told it wasn't the best idea.

It always puzzles me why people place the social media stuff before the
article. Surely it should appear at the end?

How are you going to know if you want to share it until you've read it?

If you then decide to share, then you have to scroll back up.
