commercialism
Money over meaning
Commercialism is the prioritizing of profit over other values.
The term typically carries negative connotations—suggesting that something has been corrupted by money or market forces: the commercialism of Christmas, the commercialism of professional sports.
When art, holidays, or institutions become too focused on selling, critics decry their commercialism.
