It's hard for to believe that Quibi was anything other than a convoluted scam. There's lots of shortcomings and criticisms that could be lobbied Quibi's way but at the end of the day its weakness was that it hit the ground running with a miniscule content library that was a smattering of garbage in all directions. Mobile only was an okay idea even if a lot of folks are still rolling their eyes at it, but you don't get to then charge big kid subscription prices while releasing new content at a snail's pace. Quantity is king and it's baffling that a bunch of Hollywood types couldn't see that.
