do the #a11y or #disabilitytechnology communities have standard terms for the two kinds of “users” of accessibility features, those who apply them to content they create vs. those who benefit from them when engaging with said content?

e.g.: someone who writes image descriptions for pictures they post, and someone who reads them for pictures other people post, are both “users” of the image description feature, but how to distinguish them?

Just started using Visible plus with tracking device to manage #pacing for #MyalgicEncephalomylietis #LongCovid. Will add any updates here when I can. For more info check out
