Either some one plays with scalping (which, in theory, exchanges tries to prevent), or someone were able to prepare efficient ML model to predict price movements within second intervals, or someone just can do it faster.

Something I experienced too. I would still spot profitable trade but would be late to pick them up, most of the time. With arbitrage you also have to beat the fees and the time.

Arbitrage in the past 2 years is a loser game - (or maybe not, and I am that loser). It was still a good learning experience that eventually led to other profitable ideas.
