This, advertising is how they make back the costs, and they haven't exactly skimped on them (Very, Ocado, etc.). The amount of money you make from voting is so nebulous they shouldn't rely on it for anything, anything they make from votes is a bonus on top of the costs covered by their sponsors.

We shouldn't have to make up the cost for poor budgeting.
