It wouldn't be worth the 1.7 billion they put into it. in the early 2010's youtube gave 100 million to youtubers to make high quality content and they got no returns from it. I think the thing is that the content just wasn't good enough to justify the cost. a court show with Chrissy Teigen? A punk'd reboot with by-then thoroughly disgraced Chance the Rapper? Anna Kendrick talking to a real doll? who would want to pay almost as much as netflix subscription for that?

The problem with Quibi is their idea of replacing the time people spend on instagram or twitter etc during their break time was inherently flawed. People on average don't want to spend that time watching an engrossing tv show. They actively want to spend that time on social media or watching a silly youtube video they don't have to pay a lot of attention to.

I was part of the free trial. I ended up forgetting about it after a few weeks. I think the biggest issue for me was how episodes released daily or weekly, especially at the start of the service. Especially when you’re running about, let’s say you have 15 minutes to spare. That gives you time for about 2 episodes of a show. Well, since the episodes were so short you would be left with having to watch the latest episode and then just... waiting. They couldn’t get away with that type of scheduling the way longer shows can, because the long shows are long enough to pull you in. The short ones did their best to have each episode be equally enticing, but it was very static in a sense. I mean if the entire premise of this service was constantly availability and “quick bites”, it made no sense that anything you were lightly interested in and casually watching, you actually had to WAIT for. I think it would have been way more successful if they had just released entire shows at a time. The whole selling point was how the shows would fit around your schedule, but I found myself working around theirs...😕

That's exactly what it is. KZfaq offers endless hours of quality entertainment for free, and you can pick and choose video length based on how much time you have quite easily. I wish I'd been hired as a consultant, because I could have told them that their idea sucks. Why did they get a couple dinosaurs like Katzenberg and that Ebay CEO to run Quibi? Neither of them are a good fit. Katzenberg can run a studio, but he doesn't know fuck-all about social media and what people like about it/why they use it. Ebay lady is clearly not a good fit either, she also has 0 social media experience. I can't say I'm surprised though. Corporate America is perpetually out of touch with WHY their companies are successful. For example, streaming services are increasingly just becoming normal cable TV. You have Hulu? Awesome. Let's watch this movie that google says is on Hulu. Oh sorry, you need the Starz addon for that. Ok let's watch this other movie. Nope, you need Cinemax. Ok...how about this one? Nope. HBO. If you want to watch everything Hulu has to offer you end up spending like 30-35 bucks a month. People left cable TV specifically to escape ads and this type of channel package nonsense. If things keep moving in this direction, the streaming bubble is going to burst. It's so irritating. Any time a good idea that sells comes around (Netflix), a million other aholes come out of the woodwork to try and replicate that success. This is also why we have a million reboots, sequels, and remakes that no one asked for coming out of Hollywood, and an endless stream of bland, paint-by-numbers "AAA" franchises releasing "new" titles every year in the video game industry-usually riddled with micro transactions. American Brand Capitalism­™ sucks the life out of everything it touches.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I don't even care about the Webby Awards that much and I actually spend a huge amount of free time watching online content. My 65-year-old mother, though, is all about the Oscars. So good work, guys, advertising to an old woman who doesn't know how to type a URL let alone work a smartphone.

Per your request: I had Quibi. I got it for The Dangerous Game, and the Reno 911 revival. The shows themselves were quality productions, the same level you'd get in a Netflix original. The Reno revival was spot on exactly like the show and didn't seem like Quibi stood in the way of what they wanted to do. The problem was with the run time. It was too gimmicky and extended watch sessions were annoying due to interruptions every 10ish minutes. In a world of binge watching, 10 min shows don't really fit.If I want quick content, youtube or tiktok gets it done, not professionally produced media.

@@sambradley9091 I agree also it is A LOT MORE then 5USD for cable. You are looking at 25USD minimums in the USA if you go to the cheapest place for cable and get the cheapest tier of cable in it. For my parents right now they pay 200USD for cable for like 5 channels on it. CNN,MSNBC, BBC, STARS, and HBO. Some times Fox News pretty sure they never watch anything but those 6 channels but pay 200USD for it as HBO is on the highest tier with the BBC up there to now. The main issue with it is Comcast is virtual a monopoly and old ppl the 60+ crowd haven't gotten used to streaming yet as streaming some times buffers. Streaming buffers while with cable how they get around it is you are sent everything but see it 3 to 5 seconds later so the buffering doesn't happen.

It sounds like Quibi was little more than white noise in a sea of competition. The pandemic only reinforced this point. Every major streaming service (and there are plenty) saw an uptick in subscriptions (and money) during the lockdowns. Quibi lived and died without a ton of fanfare in that same space, being little more than a curious novelty that wore off very quickly.

IMO, I think the crux of why Quibi failed was that they fundamentally misunderstood the market they were competing in. Nevermind the fact that Quibi is like Hulu/Netflix/Disney+ in the sense that it requires a subscription to access its library of content (albeit unlike those, Quibi's were exclusively short-form), but Quibi may have actually fundamentally misunderstood the audience in which they tried to capture. As much as I hate it, TikTok is successful for a reason. It really looks like the younger demographics are more into user-created content rather than content created by big-name celebrities, who are usually part of a large, well-known studio. Add in the fact that it was only limited to mobile in the beginning (in which the global pandemic basically made pointless) and how you needed a $5-8 monthly fee to access it, and it becomes clear why Quibi was essentially DOA. In essence, why would I spend $5-8 on Quibi for short-form content made by people who I may not be very interested in, when I can pay $7.99 a month for a Disney+ subscription that's far more likely to contain the content that I may actually want? And if I want short-form content, I'm far more likely to watch it on a platform like KZfaq, with a mix of quality content by well-known content creators alongside ones just made by an average person, without needing to pay an additional fee albeit with the obvious annoyance of KZfaq's onslaught of ads. Some brilliant minds may have ran the company, but they really were barking up the wrong tree with this one.

It failed because NO ONE was going to pay for it. You nailed it with all the other apps Quibi wanted to replace "time consuming" wise ARE FREE. Quibi would also have to be CONSISTENTLY pumping out content in order to justify paying for it. There have been other projects that had promising content that you had to pay for but had maybe one or two things that left you paying for essentially nothing (looking at you, Hooked). Quibi was destined to sink. Short form content is absolutely the way to go in media today. Instagram Reels, KZfaq Shorts, Tiktok, and Snapchat Spotlight to name a few. However all of those are FREE and CHOKED with content worth coming back for. Quibi had little to offer at a PRICE. That was what killed it.

IMO it would have succeeded if the $4.99 per month plan was free and the ad free version costed like $2.99 per month (maybe the free version would be 480p only as well, which doesn't matter much on small screens). Also the lack of screenshots was a really bad idea. Memes would be free advertising for the platform. Overall this is seems like a case of being out-of-touch with their target market and not really testing the waters on the best payment model. Why would I pay $4.99 a month for ten minute content? I can understand that it was intended to be watched on-the-go, but watching stuff on-the-go can be inconvenient and isn't an option for people with limited data plans. It's especially an issue when the content isn't free.

Quibi always struck me as a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist. There’s no real demand for short-form episodic content because most people who use streaming platform prefer to binge shows or watch a full movie in one sitting. Cutting up these shows into smaller segments and marketing them as on-the-go entertainment is functionally useless because not only does the audience have that purpose fulfilled with KZfaq and TikTok, but the 10-minute time constraint makes binge-watching a clunky and annoying process.

There are millions of hours of free content out there already, did Quibi do anything better beyond offering me some different movies and shows, or anything else that makes it worth the money? The functionality of Quibi leads me to think that they never thought I would ask myself that question before just signing up for it. They just kind of arrogantly assumed that if they dangled any kind of content at all in front of us we'd open up our wallets for them. Except as you said, the content wasn't up to par. In fact, the content was so unexciting that I never even bothered to get the free trial; I looked at the lineup once and never bothered again. So they had: mediocre content that was locked behind a mobile-only app that you had to pay for.... Quibi was destined to fail.

Quibi: We've invented this round, rubbery thing that you can put on cars to make them roll across roads. For only $5 per month, we'll allow you to put Queels on your own vehicle to make your commute easier. Or $8 per month if you don't want them pausing for 30 seconds every so often.

I haven't paid to watch TV or movies at home for over a decade. There's already so much free stuff to watch online, and 99% of what gets released in theaters or on cable or streaming services is utter garbage not worth watching much less paying for. There's going to be a wash-out in the industry eventually - way too many pay-to-view channels and services and far too few people willing to pay for it.

They're like the Poochy of streaming services. Quibi always seemed like an idea that came purely out of marketing data. No one was asking or wanted a service like this and yet somehow it was willed into being because "millenials love to stream, love their phones, and don't have attention for anything longer than 10 minutes."

For Quibi to have worked, they needed to have a highly condensed and curated artful library of work on it, and to market the app based around the content. You can’t just make amateur work on it or you’ll end up in direct competition with social media platforms where content is free, and by making it a streaming service you must produce content that stands out from the already overcondensed market of streaming services. The 10 minute episode limit is actually a pretty interesting limitation that could breed a lot of unique, creative work (look at shows like Steven Universe or Over the Garden Wall that are 10 minutes per episode). If they’d just made sure the quality of their content was up to snuff, or at the very least intriguing, I think Quibi could’ve been a massive success.
