It looks like they are closing up shop by Dec. 1st, but "it does not yet know whether Quibi content will be made available elsewhere after the app is shut down". What show/film on QUIBI caught your attention, but you still haven't seen it?

I watch the LeBron James documentary, ‘I Promise”, about a private school he financed and the promise to send every student to college.
Watched Liam Hemsworth action series about a struggling husband participating in the most dangerous game - hunting humans for sport. (Didn’t finish).
Watched pilot episode of Kevin Hart’s action-comedy series about a movie star training with a stunt man from Hell. Co- starring John Travolta. (Show created by Tripper Clancy, a Stage 32 Mentor).
If anyone looks at my past comments.... I said it was a quaintly outdated idea and I doubted it could sustain. I am developing Facet TV with proven strategies applied to the new environment. Indie content producers should contact me to come on board.

Quibi gave people what they, Quibi, thought they wanted. And that is the worst model for business. I always felt it was doomed before go-live.

If I only had 1% of the money they raised...
Lindbergh E Hollingsworth I wish I didn't agree with you, but I still don't have Hulu or HBO - how are they gonna convince me to get ANOTHER streaming service that sounds shockingly like YouTube? LOL!

Lindbergh E Hollingsworth I said that from the moment I heard about their ideas. Quibi business model forgot that there is something called a "pause" button in video players, and people don't need things to be cut to momentary bites in order to enjoy them. Quibi's founder's ideas were almost two decades behind the curve. The idea of an ephemeral video that you watch while waiting for a bus was a momentary (and failed) idea back at the advent of online video just after YouTube began. It was, if I recall, part of the last gasp of the (proven incorrect) idea that the MTV generation had miraculously developed a genius ability to absorb information while simultaneously having the attention span of a gnat. So they needed everything in short media bites. Of course... that was never the case, though it must have sounded good to someone.
