Recently, I saw everyone arguing about who has higher TPS in L2, who has lower fee rates, and who offers bigger subsidies... Basically, when you click "Confirm," what really determines your transaction price is often not TPS, but sorting priority. MEV, this on-chain "queue jumping," affects not just high-frequency traders: you think you're just swapping tokens normally, but someone ahead of you buys a coin first, then sells it back later, and you end up with inexplicable slippage; you place a limit order, thinking you're clever, only to be caught in the middle and eat the spread. The most annoying part is that it comes with a "rationalization"—everyone says it's open competition, market efficiency, but for ordinary folks who don't have time to monitor the mempool, they often become fuel for these strategies. Anyway, I now prefer to do fewer trades rather than use my capital to boost others' "efficiency." That's all for now.
