RE: What's the Difference Between Steem and Steemit?
I always say steemit, except when talking to people who actually know the difference and are picky enough to notice it.
I say steemit because there is no confusion with valve's steam
Yup, but that's how people who don't really know what steem is all about get the impression on this blockchain you can only write blogs. They don't realize there's a dtube for youtube, a dlive for twitch, steepshot for instagram, zappl for twitter, dsound for soundcloud, dmania for memes and so on. All on the steem blockchain.
I get it it can be confusing. After all I still remember my first few days.
Add to it the fact there is a token with the same name and two other tokens with different names and that's a mix difficult to understand or to explain to someone who has no idea or interest in what blockchain is, he or she just wants to blog, or to make videos, or to post images and so on, and get paid for it (because he or she heard it's possible).
Do you think people on Facebook know how it really works (or care)? Of course we want an ecosystem less spammy than FB and with the benefits of shared rewards steem blockchain brings in.
Taking your last sentence as a conclusion: just need to adapt your level of details to who you are talking with: some are specialists, some are frontend users
