    Don’t want hidden advertisements on a plugin. I’m fine with paying for something that solves a problem, not to get advertisement included without notification.

    I really dislike software as a service most days. I’ve not looked at the plugin yet but I think this part may be where those ads are coming from.

    Analytics

    The plugin runs off our servers at LinksAlpha.com in order to process the social sharing analytics which helps you track virality of your content across social channels.

    I take it back. It’s not software as a service, the plugin makes their button mandatory and you cannot exclude it using the included GUI.

    https://plugins.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/browser/social-sharing-toolkit/trunk/includes/buttons/button.linksalpha.php#L25

    Enforcing the button that way may not be allowed. I’ll email the plugin team with the details to make sure.

    In the meanwhile if you do not want their ads on your site then you probably do not want to use this plugin. 😉
