I don't know if there's anything that Quibi could have done one way or another to get my money.
I just don't want another content subscription? Between Netflix (paid) and Twitch (free) I have more than enough to watch whenever I want. And the inertia is real.

So as I was so rudely interrupted by the thread closing:
How was quibi marketed because I remember absolutely no marketing or ad spots for it whatsoever?
Also how do I listen to this trash panda thing?
fuck gendered marketing

@desc being untethered is also useful for like walking around while on a call, whether it's a zoom call from a computer or on the phone. Or when you're in a plane seat and want to go to the bathroom—leave the headphones in/on and just get up.
It might not sound like a big deal but it's incredibly freeing when you do it. It's one of those "feels like the future" things. It's right up there with wireless controllers, which also suck to have to charge but it makes a big difference not having a cable.
Charging headphones sucks because it's one of those things we never thought needed charging, but everything needs charging these days. I actually bought a USB to 4x USB micro spider cable to add to my little charging station that already has 1 lightning, 1 apple watch, and 1 lightning/usb micro/usb c spider cable. It's nuts.

i remember seeing a commercial here and there where it didn't really give a clear idea what it was going for other than very short programming such that i just wrote it off as a second rate Youtube and never looked into it more

I'm vaguely against wireless headphones (because of the fidelity!!!! and also my deeply irresponsible inability to regularly charge anything) but I broke and bought those new Sonys

My favorite Quibi fact is that its entire executive team blamed covid for its failure.
Oh you mean this period in time when streaming entertainment saw massive, network-melting growth across the board, in all market segments: free, ad-supported, subscription, longform, shortform, prerecorded, and live.
That's what killed your business? The most friendly and forgiving market environment you could have possibly launched in?

The problem with dressing up as The Grinch to fuck your girlfriend is that you either do a shit job at it and she's pissed or:
You lean into it and really do it well. You get a great suit and even do the makeup. You learn the smile and practice the mannerisms. You become The Grinch and seduce her and really give her the business.
Well, now you have to do it again. At the very least you've got to do it every Christmas. This isn't a one time thing.
By crossing that line you now either have to break up with her or this is a new hobby.

It's the twice mentioned "this is actually an incredibly common fetish" that kind of jumps the shark.

i suppose an inability to create new content at the start of all this mess when people hadn't really figured anything out yet could be a feasible claim to a problem
I don't think I've seen a company reach starting up to YouTube videos about why they failed so quickly.

hey, if your lady wants to fuck the grinch, what kind of prudish dummy do you have to be to not already have an amazon cart filled with a grinch costume and a pair of fabric scissors?

On the first point, I have absolutely no idea, because I also had never heard of it until collapsed under the weight of the incredible volumes of venture capital it burned through
On the second, it's a podcast, pick a podcast platform (iTunes, stitcher, etc) and you should be able to just search for it

But it stopped the largely imaginary activity they assumed lots of people did that hardly anyone did because most people can’t commute via public transit and most people don’t want to be the dick in line watching some show on their phone
