This morning, I watched the waves push back layer by layer, and suddenly I thought about that kind of "cutting in line" on the blockchain: you think everyone is lining up to trade, but actually someone is stepping ahead on the crest of the wave. To put it simply, the ones most affected aren't the big guys who write scripts, but people like us who click manually—slightly more slippage, a bit slower to execute, and our emotions get carried away.
Recently, the set of staking, shared security, and yield stacking has also been criticized as a "copycat," I can understand... layering on more and more looks exciting, but if the underlying ordering isn't quite fair, stacking more on top is like piling sand—blow on it, and it scatters.
My current habit is: when I see strange trades or inexplicable price jumps, I first take a screenshot and save it, as a little joke, and also as a reminder not to panic. Conclusion: MEV can't be fixed in the short term, but at least don't take "cutting in line" for granted, and try not to be that reef in the wave when you place your order.
