Exactly what we need in the current mempool situation. 😑 https://i.imgur.com/v7aQbQT.png

Mined just seconds after the prev block, both by Antpool. This just happens unfortunately.

If it happens significantly more on some pools than others (proportionally to their share of hashrate), it could indicate inefficiencies in the pool software, inefficiencies in their Bitcoin node configuration, OR a ‘selfish mining’ strategy… but it’s near impossible to prove the latter.

This phenomena is impossible to avoid completely afaik

Well it's possible to avoid by only starting to mine after you get the block template but a delay by 2s also means you could lose out on the block reward.

getblocktemplate can be remarkably slow. Used to solo mine.
