An example where it does not: a high-roller in a Vegas casino orders half a dozen hookers to his room.

How many of the people who engage in that behavior do you think would like it if it would be public knowledge? In many cases I don't think that those high-rollers want publicity for the action which suggests that their general status doesn't benefit from it.

If a dude's ordering half a dozen hookers to his room, he doesn't mind publicity for it.
