Just took another look at on-chain swaps, and the more I watch, the more I think the words "sandwich" and "arbitrage" are quite similar: you think you've found a price difference window, but the moment you click in, the window turns into a gate charging others tolls... Basically, many times what you see as an opportunity, others see as your fee. Especially those with larger slippage allowances, they’re almost waving at you under the lamp.
Recently, I also casually looked at discussions about the economic collapse of blockchain games, with inflation + studio arbitrage + coin prices spiraling downward, and it feels like the same vibe: on the surface, it’s "participate and earn," but underneath, it’s actually about grabbing who will be the last to step in. Anyway, now before I make any trade, I first assume I’m the one being squeezed, then decide whether to click confirm—kind of cowardly but it’s easier on the mind.
