I wouldn’t say nobody, some people have exhibition kinks, but yeah it’s definitely exploitative far more often than it would ideally be.

I’d also argue the military is a similar situation. I know people who got into the US naval academy and absolutely had other options.

I think some would take the job more willingly if the job wasn't as societally stigmatized as it is currently. "Nobody" is certainly a stretch but I get where you're coming from.
