X has added an animated arm that reaches across the screen to point users towards the button for promoting a post, The Verge reports. The prompt targets verified and Premium users.
Why it mattersIt is a small interface change, but a conspicuous one: a paid-account perk now comes with a more insistent reminder to spend more on promotion. Subtlety, it seems, was not invited to this design meeting.
Discuss: For paid social accounts, is a prominent promotion prompt a useful tool or an intrusive upsell?
