sharer's remorse 

The deep sense of regret that washes over you when you realize that you’ve shared something stupid on social media; especially prone are those who share articles before reading them.
Sharer's remorse washed over him as he realized that he was one of the first people to share a fake-news story that went viral.

Sharer-skin 

The mangled, ugly, dry, scaley, facial skin that some individuals contain.
That guy who was married to my physics teacher in 12th grade had sharer-skin. His face looked like someone tied his feet to their bumper and drove their car down creek road.

early sharer 

A person who communicates intimate details about their personal life when you've only just met them in an innappropriate, mental alarm-bell ringing way. They may well lack true friends to do this with and so try to make you their new BF.
"I just cannot bear that girl, man, she's such an early sharer. Five minutes after I met her she was talking about her and her boyfriend's sexual problems and he was RIGHT THERE!"

sharebait 

Any post on a social networking site (typically a puzzle, optical illusion, political question, inspirational story, etc.), that asks for the user to share it with friends on the site, with the supposed objective of getting as much exposure or attention as possible. Similar to the "you will die if you do not repost this comment x number of times" posts also seen frequently on social networks.
"Peggy, stop sharing every piece of sob-story sharebait you see on Facebook. It's fake and it's been circulating for years."
