Yesterday, I saw more examples of "queue jumping" on the blockchain, in simple terms, MEV/ordering is when someone sees the transaction a second earlier or inserts it into the block a millisecond earlier. The biggest impact isn't necessarily from large whales, but from retail investors like us who casually swap tokens or add liquidity: slippage gets eaten up, and we think it's just our hands trembling. You ask if it's fair... I don't know either, it's just part of the default rules.

Recently, the cross-chain bridge was hacked again, and everyone is shouting "don't move yet, wait for confirmation," along with the collective pause after oracle price feeds went haywire—it's actually quite similar: when you realize that on-chain isn't just code, but also a bunch of people and bots fighting over timing, you'll subconsciously slow down. My usual approach is still the same: set limit orders when possible, split transactions, chase less, and wait patiently.
