Wouldn’t creating such elaborate fakes and conspiracies cost an equal–if not greater–amount of money than the science they are supposedly covering up?
You seem to have me confused with someone else. I am not talking about "elaborate fakes" or "conspiracies".
However, as an aside; In general - no.
Lies and fakes cost vastly less than the actual reality. Lies are cheap - as is cgi/camera tricks. Compare the cost of a model rocket to an actual one and i think you'll find "faking" is vastly more cost effective.
Well there is funding that goes to education facilities to teach this, science shows, lectures, maps, all sorts of things produced that support the globe earth. Why is this cheaper than the truth?

None of those things support (or depend on) a globe earth, no. The shape of the world simply is - it requires no support whatsoever regardless of what that shape is.
Educational funding happens for an entirely different purpose.
Why is this cheaper than the truth?
Truth is ALWAYS more valuable/expensive than lies. It's a truism.
But HOW is it more expensive? With so much funding going towards educating the public on a globe earth, how is the truth more costly? What more is at stake? Would it not be cheaper to just educate people on the truth?
Your question is silly. Real research costs money, lies don't. That is both the how and the why.
With so much funding going towards educating the public on a globe earth
This is your mistake. The funding is going towards educating the public on whatever shaped world this is. It's as silly as saying that education is funded primarily to teach people any singular/individual fact (most of which are proven to be wrong at some point in the future - it is known as the half life of facts) Education does not exist, nor is it funded for this purpose. The shape of the world is not seriously discussed in academia in any case. It's a footnote at best.
Would it not be cheaper to just educate people on the truth?
Lol. You have to have the truth first! You don't educate people with incorrect knowledge on purpose (most of the time anyway) - especially for educators you do it because you don't know any better (i.e. you need to have the truth first, in order to subsequently share it)
