Mcdonaldization
The easiest, fastest, most efficient, predictable and calculable way of doing things. Getting the product out as soon as possible. Quantity over quality philosophy. Often by breaking the job up into smaller tasks that anyone can do. This way of doing things may also include a lot of machines. The machines do most of the work.
mcdonaldization is leading to a simpler world; one day, the machines will take over and we'll have ourselves to blame for relinquishing all control to technology all for convenience.

Ronald Mcdonaldization
The brainwashing that occurs by McDonald's on the minds of young children. These kids become infatuated with McDonalds through the incessant advertising. This is shown especially in the documentary Super Size Me.
The poor children are undergoing Ronald McDonaldization as we speak, all around the world. Many of them will unfortunately become obese, and some will suffer a lot because of the insidious effects of Ronald McDonald & Co.

The McDonaldization of Singapore Math
When bots would select word problems from a question bank, then forward them to ghost editors in Bangalore, before sending the final proof to POD publishers like Amazon Kindle to distribute both printed and e-copies to customers worldwide.
Guesstimate how much the McDonaldization of Singapore math mass market is worth every year, as professional pirates from India, Pakistan, and Nigeria try to cash in.

Surf Dracula Syndrome
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
