Could you please fuckıng not, Urban Dictionary?

This is a community for designs specifically crafted to make the experience worse for the user. This can be due to greed, apathy, laziness or just downright scumbaggery.
Here's a real reason: It's generally more optimized and smooth than the web version. And before you say that's because the websites purposely nerf themselves, one of the best examples to support my statement is Mastodon, which is slow and laggy on the website but fast and smooth in the app.
Here's the REAL reason: Apps grant Developers/Content owners more control/metrics/data about the user to feed their advertisers, which translates to more revenue. It's way easier to hoover up data about the user outside of the browser sandbox, and in apps.
But this urban dictionary app looks like some webapp. Also this slight smoothness costs your personally identifiable data for such apps
