Just now my phone popped up a red dot again, saying my swap "slippage exceeded expectations," and I thought I caught some small opportunity... When I clicked in, it looked like the transaction price was casually taken away. To put it simply, many so-called arbitrage/spread opportunities you see are opportunities for you; others see are your fees and the space being squeezed.

Recently, everyone has been complaining about miner/validator income, MEV, and whether the ordering is fair or not. Now I feel more like an onlooker watching the autumn scenery: lively as it is, the wind blows and the leaves fall. Anyway, I try to set limit orders and small slippage for small amounts, split into batches if possible, because grabbing those few seconds of "speed" mostly just adds chicken legs for others. For now, I’ll just go with the flow—admitting defeat feels more comfortable than fighting hard.
