The what now?

Quibi is an over-the-top American short-form streaming platform that generates content for viewing on mobile devices.

So.... uhh, was it a tiktok clone?

“I don’t think of this as revolutionary as much as it’s evolutionary, in that you’re combining together these two tested forms of filmed narrative,” he says. “The first generation was two-hour movies that were created and designed to be watched in a single sitting in a movie theater. And the next generation was these very long, episodic and serialized stories that had either 13 or 26 chapters to them, and they were designed to be watched an hour or half-hour at a time in front of the TV set. What Quibi is setting out to do is the next form of film narrative — the convergence of those two ideas together. What we’re doing is telling stories that are two to two and a half hours long in chapters that are seven to ten minutes, with great talent, and designed to be watched on your phone.”

Oh lol. I can see how if you are a tech CEO lording over Silicon Valley or whatever, you might think that this was a paradigm-shifting development lol
