    Yeah. Not really ideal to giving a serious talk or something. Though there really isn’t a single other word describing the growth-phase-to-monetization-phase shift that I’m aware of.

    “Growth phase to monetization phase shift” is kind of awkwardly long.

      Its not just growth to monetization, its next stage of 20% profit growth year after year, in this case in the end, sooner or later, one way or another, companies end up having to do bad things. So most companies end up doing bad things and society has to live with largely bad companies.

      I wish there was a better way.

      The welfare harms from monopolies are hardly a new discovery. The “growth phase” is called - in some contexts, at least - the “predation stage” followed by the “recoupment phase”.
