X buttons are another problem, light grey and fucken 10% opacity on a white background and the target is right in the middle of the intersect.
I can't stand tiny buttons whose clickable area is limited to the graphic itself, just virtually unusable. I'm a mobile app programmer (or used to be, anyway) and whenever I got handed a design like this to implement I would always make the tappable area larger than the graphic itself - and then have to deal with angry designers who insisted that was a violation of their design principles. On more than one occasion, I was ordered by managers to undo the already-implemented larger tappable regions, on the hilarious grounds that implementing them would take too long.
You made them lose money my friend.
They want you to click by mistake to show “engagement”.
