Recently, I saw a bunch of people complaining about "cutting in line," basically about who can queue first and who can change the order. You click on swap, which seems like a slip issue, but sometimes it's because your transaction got sandwiched in the middle and eaten up; the loss isn't big but it’s pretty annoying.
From the perspective of running nodes, it’s also awkward: everyone is watching whether validator earnings go up, but much of this money isn’t "network rewards," it’s more like the sale of ordering rights. The biggest impact isn’t from large holders (they have tools and channels), but from retail investors paying "invisible fees" one by one.
What I care more about now is: are there more transparent ordering rules, and are there designs that distribute this kind of revenue back to users? I don’t really believe exaggerated narratives; only those that can provide verifiable data and playback records are worth discussing. That’s all for now.
