I just made a stupid mistake again: a single swap failed, and the gas still got deducted. Looking back, I realized I was too "confident" with my slippage, the pool depth wasn't as deep as I thought, and with network congestion, a small price move pushed it over the limit... Honestly, it’s not the market targeting me, it’s that I was rushing my order too much.
Now I’ll be smarter, first check the depth, split the amount into smaller parts, and prefer to click twice rather than rush in blindly; if I really want to chase, treat slippage as a "ticket to buy emotion," not a free lunch. By the way, recently everyone’s been criticizing validators for making easy profits and MEV ordering being unfair. I don’t have much to say, only that when a block is full, the first to be educated are always the impatient ones.
Oh, and I saved a screenshot of that failed transaction... as a good luck charm.
