Nah, the real best example of this is the entertainment industry. Like, video game development, or maybe film/TV production. The industries where people are so desperate to get involved that they're willing to work insane hours for often little pay in harsh conditions just for the potential exposure and popularity. Or in some cases, work for nothing on the assumption it might pan out at some unknown time in the future.
There's a reason why so many people in Hollywood are working low paid jobs with the aspiration of becoming an actor or actress at some point in the future. Or why sites like Youtube are littered with the attempts of becoming the next big thing by hundreds of thousands of creators and small teams/companies. Or why every video game market in existence is filled with tons and tons of indie games of every possible level of quality.
All those things are seen as glamorous, have huge multi billion dollar markets and have flaws people think could be fixed in some way or another.
And yet again, they're all ridiculously competitive, are incredibly hard to make a decent profit in and then have the added problem that the product is extremely easy for people to avoid paying for.
