Ask HN: What are shitty markets?

[itry]

Everybody talks about being in the right market. Investing in the right market. Markets that are big and or will encounter rapid growth.

So maybe there are many small, stagnant markets that are ignored by investors and entrpreneurs?

Any ideas what examples of those shitty markets are?
