Scriptnotes says goodbye to Quibi

On this episode of Scriptnotes, the hosts talk about the recent end of a short form video company called Quibi. Actually the company hasn’t closed yet but it soon will next month apparently. The hosts discuss the reasons for the decision to shut down the company. One reason is that the companies business failed to live up to expectations. This seems to happen to many companies in my opinion, they set out to reach a goal, never reach it, and end up shutting down. It’s a sad thing to go through. The hosts also discuss what This shutdown means for the entertainment history as a whole. It sounds weird but apparently all businesses are intertwined. So if one fails it can affect others as well. One group being affected are the people who invested in Quibi who now have to go somewhere else. This is a hard situation to fix and it can be disasterous if not handled correctly. I personally hope that things work out for the people involved in the company in the future but I can’t think of any advice to give unfortunately because I am not a businessman. Another effect is that some planned projects will be put on hold and end up in development hell where they may not come back out of.
