All this tweet button, facebook like, google plus crap

Does this tweet button, facebook like, google plus crap get anybody anything? I'd like to hear from forum owners. I don't think this crap gets me anything on my forum. Am I alone? I'm thinking of turning all of this nonsense off entirely.

It drives traffic... We get ~2,500 unique visitors per day coming from links people shared on the social networks.

It's one of those things though... The more "normal" traffic you have, the more social network traffic it brings because of course you need people to do use them in order to drive the traffic.
