Polymarket's high-frequency trading tactics are identical to the MEV phenomenon of 2022. Claims that one can achieve stable profits through high-frequency strategies are essentially old wine in new bottles. If you are fooled by such arguments, it indicates a lack of understanding of market history. This type of trading may seem clever, but in reality, it carries enormous risks—transaction costs, slippage, and the threat of front-running can all suddenly erode profits.

Bro, you're right. I've seen too many people get fooled by this scheme and end up losing everything. The pre-operation part is indeed intense; once the slippage occurs, it's basically a total loss. In 2022, some people still haven't learned their lesson. High-frequency trading is basically a leek farm; when you calculate the costs, there's no way to make a profit. Just listen and don't really believe this stuff.

High-frequency trading, this game really should come to an end; it's just a different disguise.

Bro, you're not wrong. I've seen many people boast that high-frequency trading can guarantee profits, but in just one round, they get wiped out by slippage.

History just loves to repeat itself, and now they're back to hyping high-frequency trading again, really thinking they're market makers.

It's the old trick of high-frequency trading again; I've seen too many people fall for it. History loves to repeat itself, but unfortunately, most retail investors never learn. That pre-execution setup is truly an invisible harvesting machine; most retail investors can't even detect it. To put it simply, it's like running errands in a casino, thinking you're the house. MEV has been around long enough; I should have just focused on grabbing airdrops if I had known earlier.

Is this set again? High-frequency trading, this old sword, just switching platforms and hoping to shine again—dream on. I'll just see who still dares to boast about stable profits, and then get wiped out by slippage. The MEV scheme has long been exposed; how are people still falling for it? History won't repeat itself; it will only keep repeating the same tricks to fleece retail investors. If you really believe this can guarantee profits, you'd better just transfer the money to me directly. Honestly, once you calculate the trading costs, it falls apart—those tiny profits can't withstand it at all. This is just an old story with a new coat of paint, nothing new.

It's the same old story... The MEV approach really can't be made interesting; it's just a different skin to keep reaping profits.
