Recently, I've seen a bunch of meme + celebrity shoutouts and attention shifts. Veteran players advise newcomers not to take the last hit. I'm actually more concerned about the underlying issue of "cutting in line": MEV and ordering, who do they really hurt? Frankly, those being cut in line are often not big whales arbitrage brothers, but ordinary people making a swap, with slippage suddenly being wiped out, or thinking they've completed a trade, only to be caught in the middle and become "liquidity subsidies." More covertly, everyone's expectations of on-chain "fairness" are gradually being eroded: you don't dare to place limit orders, don't dare to market order, only small tests, and eventually the trading experience worsens, liquidity becomes more fragmented.



I now basically don't chase the tail of hot topics, especially those that suddenly flood the entire internet. I'd rather miss out than be the most honest person in the ordering game. If I can choose, I prefer routes/protections that counteract sandwich attacks, or simply wait for things to cool down before acting... What I've learned isn't tricks, but that you shouldn't automatically equate "on-chain verifiability" with "fairness for everyone."
