Actually, they are successful in part because they spend money. I actually think they need to lower their costs and work on their business model. Their real success ultimately comes from the authors--they have to attract and buy wonderful stories. Only after that can they put them into various formats/covers/marketing plans. It's a team effort, not entirely a "we get what we pay for" model.
