This just removes a bunch of buttons that required the inclusion of
<script>and<iframe>tags that have been proved to be used for tracking[1].Overall, the buttons don't seem to add much value, as the accounts that they point to have all been inactive for over a year[2], and having tracking in a website dedicated to anti-copyright doesn't go well according to my opinion.
This is an opinionated PR so if you, maintainers, think that it's not needed, feel free to just close it.
