Then why dont do it the professional way from start.

Example. Like one museum in East Anglia. Holds lots of interesting stuff - but has no facilities for viewing on their premises. Has no funds for running, likely income in area does not provide enough taxes for allocationg funds to museums.. One is forced (no other options?) order time in viewing room in central city, tenths of miles away, have items transferred there in advance - but readings rooms are small, frequintly full, and have greatly reduced opening hours and open just four days per week. Caveat not going there or doing that. Price: One less tourist in area. Less income in local shops. Less pasengers on trains. Less nights sold at local Hotels. Less sales in restaurants in area. Less income in taxes. Do that x-many times and depression will resault.

One sees it also in published books and articles in that country. Poor research (or no research). Photos blown up to cover more pages. Photos likely provided free... then no funds for running photo storage. Little paid for articles, then little income for authors need for food. Then authors starve. Dead authors do not do research. Caveat: No new research.
