Not right after claiming such buttons "do nothing for the user that a simple link wouldn’t" and assess their cost in "tracking and slowness". You apparently think they do something good. Otherwise you wouldn't include them.
My complaint isn't with your using social media buttons. (I hated them enough to block them; they no longer bother me.) It's in using them right after claiming they are useless and parasitic.

The argument was "social buttons are bad for privacy. The ones that don't do anything a link wouldn't are especially egregious". The Like button doesn't fall in the latter category, as it does something a link won't.
