It "works" but has hidden bad side effects. Shaming is a terrible way to enact change and should only be a last resort as it sows seeds of resentment and discord that push people to political extremes. It's like saying violent crusades are the most effective form of Christian missionary work. Technically true in terms of measured "conversions", but... also the side effects are really bad.
Plus, if you shame people and you turn out to be wrong, well... what should your punishment be?
