I like your breakdown and effort you put into this. But I also don't think Quibi is going to fail anytime soon.<p>> The BBC is joining an expansive roster of Quibi investors that includes Disney, Sony, Warner Bros., Fox, Viacom, and Goldman Sachs. Beyond that, Google, WalMart, and Proctor & Gamble are among the service’s advertising cohorts.[1]<p>That's a lot of big names putting money into this.<p>Now look at all the people they've got making content, it's a massive list of celebrities that draws from more than just Hollywood which means a lot of demographics are covered.<p>This story from the la times does have a lot of back and forth debate over topics you covered [2] worth a skim<p>[1] <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/analysis-quibi-continues-excite-investors-213023272.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/analysis-quibi-continues...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-04-07/quibi-youtube-best-and-worst" rel="nofollow">https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-04-...</a>
I find it funny that they basically took an idea I had 13 years ago to learn programming and called it their core innovation. <a href="http://chamilyan.com" rel="nofollow">http://chamilyan.com</a>
I've been learning Svelte, and was annoyed at Quibi's business model, so I made a site! Hosted on firebase, it's got reactive charts, cloud functions and it should look great from mobile to mega.
There is a lot of demand for online media right now. Quibi could work if it captures the attention of a certain market. It all depends on the content. If they get a show like Game of Thrones, that could be a winning formula.<p>I'm honestly tired of Netflix, their new content is a bit meh nowadays.<p>So Quibi could take off, who knows, if it has real good high quality shows.
While I agree with everything you posted, I'd like to raise the saltiness and state that quibi is still better than having a CCP member approve your tik-tok post...
