Recently, I've come across a bunch of "interaction tutorials," which basically mean using your time and gas to exchange for an uncertain airdrop... I'm trying not to FOMO now: first check on-chain liquidity and DEX depth, pools that are thin as paper, with slippage shooting up easily, are probably just harvesting interaction data.
My own simple method: only use one small account each time, only put in a very small amount, and stop after completing the transaction. For example, a couple of days ago, I tried a new pool, put in 0.2 ETH, and the quoted slippage suddenly jumped from 0.3% to 1.6%, so I just withdrew immediately, feeling that the greed in the "mirror" was too bright.
Also, recently everyone has been complaining about validator/miner earnings, MEV, and unfair ordering, and I resonate a bit: you think you're doing tasks, but a change in order can cut you like a knife. Anyway, I’d rather do less and slower than get wrecked and lose my mind. That’s all for now.
