Where is the evidence that mobile use has any influence on editor engagement?
My apologies; there's a point of confusion here. I'm not saying that the source of difficulties around editor engagement == mobile traffic increases. What I'm saying is that the increase of mobile traffic is going to have an impact on efforts to reverse the negative trend in active editors. Sure, the problem started long before Mobile became a factor, but the existence of Mobile means that the terrain has changed dramatically. If the attempts at solutions to editor engagement problems don't take that into account, we have a problem.
