cash-ins
Converting to money
Cash-ins are acts of converting something into money or advantage, especially exploitatively.
A cash-in on a trend is an attempt to profit from its popularity: The sequel was just a cash-in on the original's success.
The term often carries a note of opportunism or cynicism—suggesting profit motive over artistic or genuine intent.
