personally, I flip-flop on this. it is a question of who i trust least at the point where i am signing up.
when it comes to spending money it feels like a concentration risk to use a social login. it would be too much data accessible from a single breach at the social network. so i prefer a site that lets me sign-up directly with my password manager filling the forms and a strong password. the most important thing for me is that I can pay without handing over my card details (i.e., use paypal and my phones built-in wallet).
on the other hand, anything to do with coding i will use my GitHub account as having a joined-up coder identity seems like it could benefit me. career profile related stuff is something that I chose to join up via linkedIn.
asking devs how they feel about this won't give an accurate picture of how the general public thinks about things. many sites offer the choice to login via one or two social logins and also let you sign-up directly. that seems like a good hedge. i think it would make a very interesting A-B or multivariant test to offer folks random combinations on a signup page to measure what works best for a particular site.
