Very little effort goes towards small channels. Most of the effort is directed at the big ones and the small channels subsidize that.

Maybe not manual effort but monetary effort does :P

Like AudioMicro + Epidemic sounds alone cost around $6-10 per channel (huge discounts for directing so many users towards their services).
Now an MCN like Freedom could likely get much bigger discounts even that that but even say $4 per channel would be quite a bit if it's for a channel making less than 10$ (as 40% = $4 ;) )

But then the way MCNs work is that small-medium channels offset any loss than tiny channel bring along and in return the tiny channels should create exposure.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to judge it that way, if you guess that they spend say $6 a month overall on features for you and you only make them $2 then it is a pretty good deal.
But if it costs them $8 and you make them $300 it is probably time to re-negotiate or get out.
 
Networks aren't easy to run but they do make easy money off of their smaller channels. The big ones are the promoters therefor get the most attention / profit because they have the bigger and louder voice compared to the little channels. If something is bad in the network it wouldn't be near them or directed to them as they are a large part of the networks growth.
