It really depends on the person. I'd venture that a lot of people are only interested in consuming these days. But when they do create content from there mobile devices, it's somewhere in the 144 character limit. Though, I do know people who create lengthy posts from their mobile device.

Bless their soul.One of my sites has a user who semi-regularly writes +10000 word chapters of story content on a mobile.
No but it auto saves every minute.But in XF2 you cant save draft manually on mobile because the button is missing on mobile.
My community recieves 65% traffic from mobile and 28% for desktops. The rest is tablets or other devices.
Mobile device users create content too, as others have said already. I've come across PC users on several forums that create a lot poorer posts than those who are posting on mobile devices.What about the content creators ?
The PC users write the content the smartphone users read.
I think they are and I base that on ones ability to created and edit better on a full screen PC apposed to squinting at a mobile device. The fascination with a mobile in the past few years is based purely on it's mobility compared to a desk top. And the majority of mobile users in the past few years use it for distracting their attention from what goes on around them. In my opinion if the sat down at a PC for any length of time and were attentive, constructive contributors to a forum, they would soon switch to using a PC to post.Don't assume that PC users are the superior content creators, the world is changing and there are an increasing number of mobile content creators thanks to improvements in mobile technology.
Indeed and other keyboards, including the Android default one, now have fast text input with very good word prediction and swipe input. Then of course there's voice input which is much better than it used to be.What about SwiftKey?
That is a game changer for fast input on a mobile device?
This. You base assumptions without actually using a mobile device yourself. I use both mobile and PC. I know from experience that it's quite possible to write decent posts on mobile devices. Yes, for posts consisting of thousands of words a full PC will be better purely for speed and screen size. However, most users, no matter the device they use, typically don't write posts of this length. For the typical content that is created by many users of a couple or so paragraphs of a few sentences each, mobile devices are more than capable of writing these without difficulty.I don't use a mobile

I have some members who own only a smartphone/use their smartphone majority of the time and create great content. People using PC's at work tend to write shorter posts compared to regular smartphone users. Sometimes after finding out that a certain member uses only a phone and doesn't own a pc/laptop, I'm amazed myself.I think they are and I base that on ones ability to created and edit better on a full screen PC apposed to squinting at a mobile device.

I don't use a mobile and know of several who had but recently had become so frustrated with its inadequacies for meaningful content creation have returned to the PC usage.

It's great discipline to have to say what you have to say concisely.
No I base it on facts reported to me by my usersYou base assumptions without actually using a mobile device yourself.
I'm not questioning the greatness of content, however grammatical errors are higher due to mobile user not willing to scroll thru their content to edit and correct errors.I have some members who own only a smartphone/use their smartphone majority of the time and create great content.
