Are dickbars the things that break me reading medium by popping up every time I highlight text? (Which I do frequently while reading).

I highlight text as I'm reading too, clicking very fast as I do. Every time one of those share boxes pops up and because of my fast clicking I accidentally click some 'tweet highlighted text' button I almost have an aneurysm.

I recently did a test of what percentage of HN users highlight text as they read. 11.52%

61% according to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4839436, ignoring to increase text contrast.

Would be very interested in what percentage of "regular" people have the habit. My girlfriend looked very puzzled when she first observed me doing it and found it very peculiar.
