One of the reasons many people doubted Quibi is because short-form content is something Netflix and Hulu have already experimented with.
The idea is like crack to product folks - habit forming! make the user get used to opening up the app every day! - but nobody has ever really made it stick for Hollywood-style or even just "a bit more premium than Youtube" content that requires a subscription.
Quibi to me looked like "Vessel/Go90, but with spending way more money" and that was a dubious proposition.
(And this was said by many people in threads before Quibi even launched, so...)
