There's a fun TikTok trend going around right now: "Big purchases must happen on big screens."

You want to buy shoes on your phone? Fine. But to book travel tickets? Pull out your laptop. Some things feel too casual for a phone

Do you see this trend happen in your communities or for yourself, where:

• You wait for your laptop (or desktop) for more thoughtful discussions
• People who buy tend to buy from desktop

How does this influence monetization strategies?

In Invision Community, I'm a big fan of Subscriptions. Subscriptions don't have all of the bells and whistles of Products , but they 'fit' with the mobile-first workflow. They're easy to review and check-out, and you're done.

I definitely wait to post on forums until I get on my computer. Sometimes if the weather is bad, I will post from my phone since I don't want to use my computer during storms. It's easier for me to come up with better replies and it's easier for me to type on a keyboard.
