Lately, watching the on-chain "queue jumping" thing, it increasingly looks like cafeteria line-cutting. You're holding your tray and lining up properly, then someone behind you slips the auntie a tip, and she fills their plate first... To put it plainly, MEV/ordering isn't just "smart people making a quick buck," it actually affects honest traders who follow the order: bigger slippage, worse execution, sometimes even paying an extra "fee" for no reason.

What's more annoying is that people also treat it as an amplifier of market sentiment. For example, during extreme funding rate periods, there's often a debate in the group about "whether to reverse or keep pumping the bubble," and on-chain, someone might already be sniffing the trend early in the queue, slipping in first to eat up the liquidity. I don't want to argue about fairness or unfairness; anyway, I'm now more conservative with my vault allocations: I prefer to follow more transparent execution paths, avoid crowding at the busy windows, and focus on staying alive first.
