Just now reviewing the situation, I got a little scared: I almost got carried away by the "new hot spot" again, seeing the group flood with posts about a certain L2 comparing TPS, fee rates, and subsidies. My hand was already reaching for the swap button... Luckily, I paused for two seconds to check the routing and pool depth, and found that once slippage was enabled, the price distorted completely, and the execution price was totally different from what I expected, even with failed retries burning through gas. To put it plainly, the most ruthless aspect of attention economy is making you trade based on emotions; when a hot topic shifts, you chase the highs and sell the lows, repeatedly paying tuition. I now force myself: first check liquidity/path, then try small trades, and only consider adding positions afterward. Better to miss out than to become a "subsidy" for others. That’s it for now.
