That something can be televised, or shown in movies, to millions of
people, enables themm to pay such high amounts.

Day care workers could make a lot more money if they could increase the
number of babies they take care of by, say, a factor of 10.   Maybe a
machine that would change diapers, and a conveyor belt.   A diaper
machine might cost $20,000, but if it would mean they only need 1
persopn to diaper 100 babies instead of 5, they could lower rates and
would still have a lot more money for salaries.  (A compputer controlled
diaper machine might cost $40,000, but they could advertise that they
are state of the art.)
