X Tests Embedded Recommendation Buttons Under Posts

Social platform X is testing a new advertising format that inserts recommendation buttons beneath posts mentioning specific companies or products, with an initial test detected in Europe showing a Starlink sign-up suggestion under a Portuguese user's praise. Product head Nikita Bier confirmed the experiment and said it aims to feel less like traditional ads; combined with paid-partnership labels and creator subscription changes, it could drive more ad investment.
