Someone asked, "Who exactly gets hurt by MEV front-running"…

These days, I've been watching on-chain swaps, and the most straightforward thing is:
You think you're executing at the price you clicked, but in the middle, you're sniped,
slippage increases, and you pay a bit more in costs, especially for small amounts, it doesn't feel much, but long-term, it really hurts.
Not to mention some liquidation and minting activities—when the order gets reordered, it shifts from "safe" to "close to liquidation,"
to put it plainly, it's not that your skills are lacking, but who you're behind in the queue.
Recently, there's been a lot of chatter about staking unlocks and token unlock schedules, calling for selling pressure,
but I'm actually more worried about this kind of sentiment stacking with front-running and rushing ahead,
causing everyone to rush out first, making the chain even more "congested."
My usual approach remains:
Use less leverage, take it slow in batches, avoid chasing if possible,
stay steady first, then move.
