It sure seems so, or something else is up!
Posting, replying, claiming rewards and even upvoting all seem to take forever these days. I get error messages, timeouts (man haven't had one of those since I was a kid) and a host of other delays and malfunctions.
Just as I was writing this after yesterday mornings post (which took 3 tries to actually go through), upvoting the replies (or trying to and after one minute of waiting, this came up:

It is maddening as there are better ways to use our waking hours... now I am not complaining as new things have bugs or unexpected issues to refine, but whoa it brings up questions with the future throngs of adopters sure to come.
Is it just me or is Steemit Having growing pains?
And a further question; if Steemit is slow now, what happens when mass adoption occurs, or the SMT's Release (of which I would love to incorporate into my website when they release)? Will it affect Steemit as well as the websites and other social platforms and businesses using them?
And that also brings in a question on the future scalability of EOS when it releases.
As a co-founder of Steem, Dan Larimer is applying the same protocols to EOS as he did with Steem (and the team of Ned Scott and any others working it), will it handle the huge scalability issues it states it will?
I leave you with this thought:
Should Steemit rework it's shell before it really grows?
I see scalability as the number one issue forthcoming in the crypto space... now I am not a tech type person and am learning just functionality in this space for personal and small business use. But when it hyperdirves into that mass adoption phase we best be ready.
And for a great coincidence after writing this, I saw 's post:
Things sure are moving fast and picking up speed! Just some rambling thoughts... for the morning.
