Episode 5: Quibi Down Under Freehand Media presents Geek Economy. Quibi, we hardly knew ye. I mean we did know ye and collectively--as a society--we decided that you were one of the absolute worst things about 2020 and needed to end immediately. Mind you Quibi, us Americans can't even work together to rid ourselves of a deadly global pandemic. Americans cannot even agree on empirical facts like who won the election and is Q-Anon real. There are fleetingly few things my country-folk ever agree on, but this was abundantly clear with a preponderance of certitude: Quibi was a dumb bucket of bad ideas. Thank you for showing us unity, don't let the bankruptcy door hit you on the way to absolute obscurity. Peak Money Intro Music is Phase 2 by Xylo-Ziko.
