Yeah like why are the numbers so enormous? Game shows typically require signing up, a lot of waiting, backgrounders, castings even, they don't treat you great, and they tease money but never pay it. Like one time per game show, not per season, per show. And it fucks people's reasoning about money up, you can't go into a raise negotiation with those game show numbers getting your personal finances and your leverage and expectations out of whack. Same as fashion magazines, just seeing a pretty shirt and seeing it costs $45000 for instance instantly fucks your notion of the value of a dollar.
