Totally right, imo. I might be old and out of touch, but to me 10 minutes is way too long for content on mobile, and short enough to be kind of annoying on anything else. I'd rather watch a 25 or 30 minute show if I want something short on TV.

I can't help but wonder if this actually holds up under scrutiny. I liked Quibi a lot, the problem for me was always the extreme lack of content. If anything long format media feels tedious to me these days and I lean towards TikTok and YouTube for that reason. The problem that ultimately drove me away from Quibi was the absolute shortage of content. With even a little more content it might have worked for someone with a 30 minute commute but for someone locked inside due to Coronavirus there's just no way that their tiny library was worth the price.
