So many job applications suck...i tried to fill out one with a required "social media link" but didn't have any place to enter one. It had "LinkedIn url" and the next line was a text box, it had "github url" and the next line was a text box, it had "social media link" and the next line was just a submit button... There was literally no box to enter a social media url. I tried chrome, Firefox and Vivaldi because the job seemed good with good pay but literally impossible to apply to.

Nevermind I don't know why you need LinkedIn, github, and social media links to evaluate me as an employee but atleast give me a way to enter the data you want.

Maybe they figure if you can't fix the form to make it submit, you wouldn't be up to their standard :-)

Depending on the position I could see any of them, but I can't imagine why you'd need all three for one application. Social Media Director of Programming Middle Management?
