Boo hoo. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money.
And if you stop spending money on providing professional editing, or promotion, or all the other services, you stop turning your fledgling authors into established authors, some of whom will then become your next a-list authors.
Instead, the big publishers have spent the last 20 years pushing their current A-listers as much as possible to maximize their immediate profits, and completely neglecting the mid-list. Small wonder the little guys are ready to jump ship.
