A non-zero factor were those mysterious-ass commercials that gave you zero information. "Time for a Quibi" doesn't work if you have no idea what the fuck a Quibi is. I saw those ads dozens of times and still had no idea it was a short-form video service until I read an article talking about their bankruptcy.

Watch our videos which are not too long to be a commitment." Whereas with TikTok I will gladly sit down and prepare for a two hour session at a time when I'm not commuting or on the toilet. The content is worth it.
- thrashh 4y agoI think Quibi sounds terrible too. I don’t think TikTok is much better but you don’t have to be amazing when you’re the first one.
- tacitusarc 4y agoWasn’t Vine first?
- thrashh 4y agoYeah but Twitter bought it and then shut it down because they couldn’t make any money from it
