Lately, I keep hearing people talk about block builders and bundles, and it seems retail investors don't really need to force themselves to become "researchers." Honestly, all you need to know is: the transaction you click may not be included in the block in the order you think; it could be bundled, front-run, or inserted somewhere along the way. So don't do things like "execute even if the price difference is tiny" on the chain; don't set slippage or limit prices too rigidly, split large orders into smaller ones, and if you can use a reliable front end, avoid wild shortcuts.
Additionally, on-chain data tools and tagging systems have recently been criticized for lagging behind and being misleading, and I resonate with that: treat tags as reference points, but not as verdicts. Currently, the information noise is too high, and my noise reduction strategy is to focus only on two things: actual transaction results (how much I ultimately get) and reasons for failure/retry (whether I was squeezed out). Other analyses can come later. Anyway, it's more practical to first understand your own execution experience.
