users
Those who engage
Users are people who use something—a product, service, system, or substance.
In computing, a user is anyone who operates software or accesses a platform: The app has millions of active users.
User often implies a relationship of consumption rather than creation.
With drugs, user is a neutral alternative to addict: a longtime heroin user.
The word can carry slight condescension when contrasted with makers or builders.
