Mr Beast was turned down by Quibi before app went bust Mr Beast\/QuibiNow that the not-so-popular streaming service Quibi is shutting down after it failed to receive the stardom it once hoped to achieve, some old tweets from the manager of YouTube star Mr Beast may shine some light on a missed opportunity that may have helped it stay afloat. Over the past year or so, Quibi was thought, at least internally, to have potential to be the next big streaming service that everyone wanted to get their hands on. With large executives who used to work at Disney and big stars attached to the service, there was definitely some merit behind the idea. Several months later, the service is shutting down, according to company founder Jeffery Katzenberg. After its failure to take off, many aren\u2019t surprised by the news and thought it was only a matter of time before it shut its doors. If some old tweets are to be believed, however, the company once had an opportunity that would have possibly made it successful. Back in June, Reed Duchscher, the CEO of Night Media and the business manager behind Mr Beast, stated that he and the company attempted to bring the aforementioned YouTuber onto Quibi in the past \u2013 but the people behind the service ended up saying no. Duchscher never expounded on this, so we\u2019ll never know the reason why the company decided to say no to someone as popular as Mr Beast. It\u2019s possible that they never came up with a good idea for a show centered around him, although this is pure speculation and seems rather unlikely. Regardless of the reasoning behind Quibi\u2019s refusal, it almost certainly would have been beneficial for them. Even though the company had major stars attached to it on the outset, getting someone as popular as Mr Beast \u2013 who currently has 45 million subscribers \u2013 probably would have helped out at least a little bit. Of course, hindsight is 20\/20, and they more than likely didn\u2019t think it was worth it back then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
