It's increasingly looking like an unpopular opinion, but Quibi to me seems like an obviously sound business strategy. It's seemingly skating where the puck is going through numerous media consumption trends. At worst, this short-term failure seems like the failure of Google Wave, namely that it failed by being too far ahead of its time (and it's ideas will be cannibalized into however many yet-to-be-invented media products).
This doesn't detract from the pleasure I have at seeing it fail, mainly because of the way they wantonly plagiarized Everything Is Terrible with "Memory Hole".
But, to generalize, I think a lot of people have lots of different reasons to feel animosity towards Quibi, and we're all collectively misconstruing that animosity as identification of a weak business model (which I don't believe it is).
- maps7 6y agoI agree. It's a good model but without killer content it won't gain much traction. Finding that killer content will be hard because it's new. It's not going to be the same killer content that Netflix has.
