Yes, commercialization can distort cultural meaning by commodifying traditions, stripping them of authenticity, and turning sacred practices into profit-driven spectacles, often leading to homogenization and loss of depth.However, it can also preserve and promote culture through economic incentives, funding conservation, and spreading awareness globally.The key is balance: respectful commercialization benefits communities, while excessive exploitation erodes significance.https://ejceudaimonia.wordpress.com/2020/10/28/is-the-commercialisation-of-culture-necessarily-a-bad-thing/
