Not necessarily. Some people are genuinely happy for what they buy/enjoy for themselves. But other people - who may not understand the value of that purchase (or are motivated by envy) - can bring down a person's enjoyment of that product, by mocking it, or thinking the lesser of it.
A simple example: movie reviews. Not everyone's palate is as 'sophisticated' or 'refined' as that of movie critiques. In comparison, lowbrow entertainment exists, and can be enjoyed by anyone, always. But critiques may look down upon such a form of entertainment - and a person who reads their reviews, and who shouuld normally enjoy their lowbrow their entertainment, might now enjoy their show less, just because others are looking down on it, or because they feel that they have live up to some 'standard' of correctness.
It's not about personally reservations. None of the above has anything to do with a person's inner reservations about a thing - it is about the external judgment, that may sometimes ruin enjoyment. Not everyone is as confident to be able to shake off the thought of others.
