Rewatch it as an adult. Yes, it is still annoying but that is the idea.
The circus(Clown World) is fun for a bit, but you don't want to be stuck in a perpetual circus with the carnies(clowns) in charge of everything.
It's still not the best Episode, it is a Voy epi after all, BUT I do think there is a certain charm to it. It actually "feels" like a ToS episode.
