Recently, I was both annoyed and amused by MEV's "queue-jumping culture"... You think that by clicking swap, you're lining up to check out, but in reality, someone has shoved a small stool in front of you, and then casually eats your slippage. To put it simply, the biggest impact is on two types of people: one is small-scale users who are already penny-pinching on gas fees, and now they get squeezed; the other is those who perform on-chain operations very frequently—clearly following the rules, but ending up with an experience like trying to buy concert tickets. Then I look at new L1/L2s offering incentives to attract TVL, and veteran users complain "extraction and selling"—which isn't without reason: once incentives arrive, bots become more active, ordering gets more competitive, and in the end, everyone is paying tuition. Anyway, I now prefer using limit orders or wider slippage to avoid market orders, and if I can wait, I wait for lower Gwei—saving not just money, but also my peace of mind... That's how it is for now.
