Front run + back run is sandwich. Front running has also been called miner extractable value. This is now called maximal extractable value. You may want to look a little further, or not. https://github.com/flashbots/pm '... mitigating the negative externalities of Maximal Extractable Value ...'

> “Less trust, more truth.” What a neat platitude that means absolutely nothing. As a society, over, oh I don't know, like 15000 years, we figured out the the best way to enforce truth is via some sort of centralized institution: the court of law. > They could, right. They sort of do—there’s the star thing that you can only do once per day. But guess what? They're a profit-motivated company. So if you pay Tinder enough, you can just send as many stars as you want. Wait, crypto miners aren't profit-motivated? Maybe we should introduce Mr. Wood to flashbots[1] -- a "sub-network" of Ethereum miners (a fork of geth) who's entire purpose for existing is front-running (for a price, of course). Truth as long as you can pay for it -- got it. Web3 is end-stage capitalism and we've been down this road in the early 1900s. Yawn. [1] https://github.co

This is already a thing of the past past as those bots now use flashbots to pay the miners which doesn't result in high fees. https://github.com/flashbots/pm
