I like your breakdown and effort you put into this. But I also don't think Quibi is going to fail anytime soon.

> The BBC is joining an expansive roster of Quibi investors that includes Disney, Sony, Warner Bros., Fox, Viacom, and Goldman Sachs. Beyond that, Google, WalMart, and Proctor & Gamble are among the service’s advertising cohorts.[1]

That's a lot of big names putting money into this.

Now look at all the people they've got making content, it's a massive list of celebrities that draws from more than just Hollywood which means a lot of demographics are covered.

This story from the la times does have a lot of back and forth debate over topics you covered [2] worth a skim

Solid point. Uber has raised 26 billion, still don't make a profit and probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Just kind of drives me crazy the amount of money dumped into ideas that could start with very little money and become profitable on their own, or they'd just die out because it's not working.
