Are social share buttons still relevant?

I can't remember a time I ever clicked a share button on a website... I personally would just copy the url and send it. I realize that may be my techie side kicking in there.

But are those social share buttons useful still? I mean, are they actually used?

Or are they basically just something else that clutters the page and adds to the page load?

I realize this may be a bit of a "it depends" type of situation. I'm looking at it from a purely informational website perspective.

For example, an article on my site, TokyoSpark: https://tokyospark.com/what-is-tempura/

Any actual use for social share buttons?
