Did anyone really use Quibi?

The 10 minute video chunk idea was pretty silly, honestly. And phone only? Bad idea
What the heck is Quibi?
I'll disagree. I know I wasn't the target audience, but talking with my kids they scoffed at the idea. They don't watch the content Quibi was producing, they watch the guy on YouTube reviewing whatever, or the thousands of self-produced videos, etc., the Quibi stuff was coming from the existing movie and TV studios (mostly). Those studios are running scared because the next generation doesn't consume their "garbage" (my term). Much like the NFL they've done the market studies they know what's facing them in the future and they are desperate to try to capture the next generation, but that generation really isn't buying into it. Doesn't mean that all studio stuff is dead, but I will say the alphabet stations (CBS/ABC/NBC) are probably the most scared.... The type of content wasn't necessarily the problem...

@BrianL 100% agreed. Sort of old school arrogance and failure to understand their target audience - at least from my armchair view point.
Reminds me of some other internet based companies during the 'dot com' boom of early 2000's. The wanted to make a fast buck and watch their stock price skyrocket only to see it come crashing down to reality just as fast. Remember when it was all about the 'new economy' or how many 'eyeballs' were on your website? Trivial things like how much profit the company actually made didn't matter...............until it did.
