I've not mentioned this before, but Glastonbury Twitter slid into my DMs last year, among a couple of other bits, they said "You're right though, there is no pattern." which pleased me no end. The poster by the webcam went up the next week.
The investment is there, already. Arguably* disproportionately more than the area would justify if you looked at it from a purely business standpoint.
They just choose to spend the money differently than some other areas - specifically T&C have prioritised quantity over paying high fees for acts - despite taking up the exact same fields**, if you compare the number of stages they run in the area, the number of acts booked, or the number of walkabouts compared to 20 years ago it's increased by multiples.
* A fairly strong argument at that.
** Same public fields anyway. They're taking a lot more crew camping now with all of the other crews that used to be in those areas pushed out..
