Recently, I've seen people complain again about validators/miners earning too much and MEV causing "unfair ordering." I actually understand, but retail investors don't need to study block builders and bundles to the point of writing papers... Frankly, knowing three things is enough: your transaction isn't confirmed the moment you click the button, someone is packing and ordering in between; slippage and failures aren't just bad luck, you might be exposing yourself to a "sandwich" environment; and don't try to rush during the busiest times, especially during popular mints or openings. My approach is very simple: try to use limit orders/low slippage, even if it's slower, and cancel if there are obvious anomalies. Anyway, I don't chase those few minutes. In the long run, tracking activity trends is more suitable for me than obsessing over every bundle's details.
