    this is not the funniest thing about Quibi, but a funny thing about Quibi is that if they were just like "we're a completely normal streaming service you can watch the regular ways, with new episodes of Reno 911 and a Sam Raimi Horror Anthology and so on" they'd probably be fine

        Rupert Murdoch once launched a glossy magazine you could only read on iPads--you couldn't link to their stories or even read them unless the author like sent you a pdf--because he noticed all his friends had iPads now. this is the sort of thing that determines who has jobs now.

        Quibi has an enormous investment from Alibaba and you have to imagine that one consequence of our world-historic failure to contain this virus is that that sort of money realizes that (e.g.) Jeffrey Katzenberg has no good car ideas

        The hilarious thing is that per Katzenberg's lone content demand, they'd contain a dramatic cliffhanger every 10 minutes

        instead they went the route of “we overpaid C-list celebrities to perform mediocre material” and are stamping their feet at not going public yet. I’d like a “give money to non-sexual predator auteurs” model á la FX but with a bottomless budget

        honestly they could even use the weird “our shows also work as vertical video when you’re on-the-go” thing, as long as the content was a watchable length when you’re on your couch.

        bc as-is the pitch has sounded like they’re asking for me to pay $10/month for, at best, BSG webisode-tier content and like fool me once on that one.
