Almost all NBA stars have an annual turnover of millions of dollars. Due to this, fans often get to witness their stars enjoying lavish lifestyles and luxuries through social media. However, sometimes, the comments made by these millionaire stars can leave fans ruffled up. Following the Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball‘s comment on Netflix’s latest update, fans expressed their opinions. Evidently, NBA Twitter was clearly unhappy with his comments.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, more than 100 million Netflix viewers consume the popular streaming site’s content on borrowed or shared passwords. Netflix Inc. considered password sharing as its major problem in 2019. Recently, the company announced that it decided to put an end to password sharing in 2023. Notably, Netflix’s Co-CEO Ted Sarandos earlier said, “I don’t think consumers are going to love it right out of the gate“. However, the streaming giant had once tweeted, “Love is sharing a password”.
