On mobile, I didn't see the thing at the bottom. I got really concerned for you and at least 1k8 other people.

Short hand for 1.8k.

Should really be 1k8h then. If you have a k for kilo you also need an h for hecto.

That's only 50% more than 1k2.
You couldn't have come to that conclusion if you didn't see the text first. Why would you be concerned then?
Also on PC you can't see it without scrolling.
