My Steemit euphoria has worn down also. Posting issues, general sluggishness, time out errors rain on the parade.
I find that when I view Steemit as an investment, and I find myself making posts to fulfill a self-imposed quota to gain upvotes, I don't have a lot of fun. I get disappointed that they're not earning like the 'should' and regret all the time I put into making the post.
If I forget about that and just enjoy Steemit for what it is, regardless of upvotes and comments, I have a lot more fun. I find curating to be pretty fun right now, just reading posts and commenting. I'm trying not to pay attention to the current dophins and whales, but look towards the FUTURE dolphins and whales. Like @bearbear613. Future whale. @ironshield
great attitude @ironshield and thanks for curating and participating
