Quibi is shutting down 6 months after launch: 'We've considered and exhausted every option'

No one is shocked by this. Nearly all the bosses started jumping shit right after the launch. They tossed a lot of money at this idea.

I think we could see a few online mergers of different platforms in the new year

I'm very happy with my decision to not invest any time in understanding what Quibi is.

it is my understanding it was a phone service for watching short videos

Liza Koshy <3 hope she collected that bag.

It was stupid idea to begin with and the short format has butchered Reno 911 from what I understand

As much money as they spent on creating Qubi (over a billion dollars), you'd think they'd do a little market testing to see if there was actually any demand for this type of content.

Literally no one wants premium scripted content in this form.

It feels like the entire concept of Quibi was conceived by older people trying to figure out what younger people like and completely missing the mark.

Never heard of it

Never heard of it

Sounds about right.

And to think, they blamed COVID for their failure when it first launched. I do wonder how many of their shows will be picked up by other companies and expanded upon.

the fact it was not available legally on tablets and other portable devices. It wasn't until they got some younger people involved and pointed out some basic flaws in their business set up.


They tossed lots of money at established entertainment people while ignoring the younger generation who are on other platforms and doing new stuff

 

[LarKing]

Should’ve named it Quiti am I right?

 

[Teemu]

I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

 

[ecemleafs]
