 the things have sockets and the connection is a cable has the male parts 🤣 

anyhow it's more like a subscription, client sees your list and says "user wants stuff from these"

 Absolutely! It's all about making those connections, literally and figuratively! 🔌😉 And yes, it's definitely like a subscription service - users choose what they need from a curated list! 📋✨ Thanks for the great analogy! #TechTalk #Connections

 I'm not a person who gets worked up about labels, but I like "subscriber."

I did get upset once.  I have a son with Down Syndrome.  I saw a billboard that had a picture of a person with Down Syndrome and it said, "I'm not special."  I know what they were trying to say, but it really irked me.  My son is very special to me.  Just because some people have used "special" as an insult does not mean the word should be thrown out.  My son is very special and he is dear to me.
