Social Bookmarking Sites/Link Building Through Them

[JMASTERJ]

Ok so in 2016-2017, I'm a little behind the times because I hadn't done serious SEO work in months, how pro/con is SB sites and link building through them?

FYI, I am looking for every 1% advantage if I can get it without any long term cons.

I saw a list of the "top" SB sites a while ago, not sure how much of these has changed in effectiveness:

Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn (don't really consider these SB but I will post there anyways, no brainer)
Stumbleupon
Delicious
Digg
Reddit
Slashdot
Newsvine
Scoop.it

Feel free to rank them, or just tell me which NOT to do, add any new ones that are great, or just "all" will do as well, if correct.

Thanks!!!
