NETFLIX rival Quibi has shut down after just six months – after failing to woo watchers.
The $1. 99 streaming service launched three months ago but had not seen enthusiasm. Media24 reported on Tuesday that Quibi would be shut down later in the year, although comments from the BuzzFeed news website suggest the decision may not end for some time.

The subscription-based service's director of product management, Manish Aggarwal told the site: "Quibi has been operational for the past six months and we have noticed that over the past six to eight weeks, the reduction in consumer growth has accelerated significantly." German sites Re-info and Sportway.de also reported that Quibi would be shutting down. Quibi loved community:
