I don’t really see how those three have any similarities. Quibi is similar to a movie flopping - sometimes happens even to good movies. ML seems like they thought they can get the tech improved but were in too early. Also happens all the time. Theranos was a scam from very early on.

They could have instead, for example, commissioned a few of their more promising shows and offered them for free to gauge interest in the format.
