oversaturating
Drenching beyond capacity
Oversaturating is flooding something with more of a substance or quality than it can absorb or usefully contain.
A sponge can be oversaturated with water, a market can be oversaturated with products, and a photograph can be oversaturated with color, making it look garish or unnatural.
The company oversaturated the market with cheap knockoffs, driving down prices for everyone.
The term implies excess that diminishes effectiveness or quality rather than enhancing it.
