Would that not end up hurting your reputation after a while?

Substantial reputational damage will have to figure in there somewhere as well. ;)

Presumably there is a considerable amount for reputational damage.

Reputational damage is difficult to recover from.

It can hurt their reputation, at the very least. Beyond that, I doubt it.
