Why Did Quibi Fail?

Description

Quibi, the $2-billion streaming service, has died. The company was founded by Disney (DIS) and DreamWorks alumnus Jeffrey Katzenberg and former Hewlett Packard and eBay CEO Meg Whitman. The business model was centered around people watching 7 to 10 minute episodes of original programs on their phones. The entire service was built around people watching small bites of entertainment while out and about on their phones. Quibi was not available for TV or Roku - just phones. But, when the global pandemic hit, people stayed at home and watched streamers on their TVs. Why did the company fail? "Because the idea itself wasn't strong enough to justify a standalone streaming service or because of our timing."

"The system in place to allow aid into Gaza is geared to fail unless there is political will to make the flow of supplies meaningful, matching the unprecedented humanitarian needs," says UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, calling on the Security Council to demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
