TikTok isn’t $4.99 a month. Now, I would argue that even if it were, it would be more successful than Quibi, but free versus subscription (and the subscription still included ads) are very different things.

  Hulu somehow manages to get people to pay and still view ads.

    Because the product is not Hulu but the TV shows that you can stream exclusively on Hulu. Clearly very few people were convinced Quibi had content that they needed to watch.

        I agree with you that in 2020 there should not be ads in any paid product. But people did pay for cable for decades, after all.
