"loud parenting" on social media

What do you think of these things where parents put some kind of shout out on social media, either to find the "victim" of something their child has done (for apology/payback) or just to humiliate their child as part of the punishment?

I hate them. I can't really articulate why. I think it's because ends up feeling more about the parent feeling all smug and "Look how great I am" than about the child (usually a teenager) actually learning something. They leave a really nasty taste in my mouth. AIBU?

my daughter took over five hours the once to get dressed and go to the shop and get something i needed for tea it was supposed to be for dinner but we ended up with sandwiches because she wouldnt stop messing around to be honest it was the end of a very long week with her so i put up a status on facebook saying she was banned from facebook for doing this and the other stuff in the week and then i changed her password she was livid BUT when i asked her to tidy her room she didnt do it when i took a picture of the messy room and said i will post it to facebook she soon tidied it up

and no i couldnt go to the shop myself as the baby was ill and i couldnt leave him or take him with me he was just so ill

it was a desperate act of a knackered mom
