Did Disney+ do anything new? It took the established model of Netflix and the established content of the Disney empire, and threw them together.

From my understanding, Quibi is a unique usage model, with unproven content, neither of which has initially panned out.

Disney+ is an interesting contrast. They threw a lot of money at proven technology (BAMTech) as well as proven content producers (in-house).

That's the entire point. You don't throw billions at something new -- you prove it out first and then throw billions at it.
