After I muted the group, I actually felt more alert...

In the past, when I saw everyone posting "This trade is arbitrage" or "That one is a sandwich," I would get itchy inside, thinking I might have missed an opportunity.
Now, slowly watching the on-chain flows, it feels more like watching "others collecting fees":
You think you're mining for value, but most of the time you're just subsidizing those who are faster.
To put it simply, sandwiches and arbitrage aren't mysterious; the key is whether you're the last to know.
Recently, there's been talk about delays in data tools and tagging systems, and that they might mislead us, too.
I also feel the same—tags look stable, but they’re often added after the fact.
Anyway, I now prefer to do less, wait for confirmation before acting, and if I miss out, so be it—at least I won't be fueling the fire.
