  They didn’t feel shame, the bad PR caused people to do the aforementioned voting with their wallets.

      Okay and, generally, companies are not motivated by shame, they register the financial/legal/regulatory impact as a result of their misdeeds being known.

        That’s a non-nuanced take. A- properly wielded shame isn’t targeted at corporations usually, it’s targeted at the individual members responsible for corporations. B- corporate culture and “decorum” culture have made shame almost exclusively the domain of religion. Whatever example you’re thinking of as corporate shaming, that’s not what I’m referring to. I’m talking about the lost art of shame.
