> Who knows, maybe in 10 years we'll all be like "Quibi was really ahead of it's time"

From what I've observed, this only happens in two cases:

* Where there was a fan base that loved the product but it just didn't work out.

* Where there was legitimate innovation behind the offering that can't be fully realized.

I don't think Quibi hits either of these points. There might be other signals I haven't thought through, but these are the 2 main ones I've been able to piece together for when people attribute a company being "ahead of its time".
