The mobisodes advertise the Toyota Yaris. A ten-second advertisement of the car is shown at the beginning, and the car is incorporated into each mobisode. These are part of a campaign titled "Yaris vs. Yaris", inspired by Mad magazine's "Spy vs. Spy" with two endlessly dueling black hat and white hat spies. A total of eight different advertisements were featured in the series, which were re-used on subsequent episodes beyond the initial eight episodes.

after all the bullshit these past few years with crypto and NFTs and AI, it's almost nostalgic looking back on Quibi

not a scam, not a grift, not a horrifying misapplication of broken technology, just a spectacularly bad idea with a truly embarrassing amount of money and effort put into it

I mean, it wasn't not a scam, since one of the reasons it was so laser-focused on short-term content that, unlike tiktok, was not meant to be virally shareable, was to get around specific restrictions regarding union minimum pay.

This appears to be a good writeup about the specific forces that made Quibi's financials so fucked up.
