Hollywood-Backed Quibi Thinks You'll Pay For Its Video Bites

A startup heavily backed by Hollywood is wagering that you're ready to set aside YouTube and TikTok to watch star-studded short videos on your phone — for a price.

Quibi executives previewed the service at a keynote speech at the CES gadget show in Las Vegas.
