I agree. No screen real estate will be sacrificed for these buttons. The content already has a max width, and the floating buttons will only appear when there's enough space beside the content. Otherwise they will appear below the content.

Why the hell do you even bother with floating them up if you've already set them up nicely?

Easier to find, more likely for users to share (at least in theory).

Really? I'd form a blind spot on those things or hide them with an ad-block. I'd be more inclined to share something if it's good and could be of some help to someone rather than because I'm inclined to by the array of colorful squares on the screen. And how is "right after whatever it is that I'm enjoying" not easy to find?
