imagining a world where Tubi reaches total market and cultural dominance. in 150 years people call movies "tubies" and most people have no idea it was ever any different. people describing the early filmmaking innovations of the Lumière Brothers use the word "tube" as often as possible as a wink and nudge towards the origin of the name for the entire industry of tubies they were soon to create. YouTube still exists but is assumed to be derivative of Tubi and is eventually purchased by Tubi to help sell the idea. Mubi is purchased and quietly all record of it disappears so nobody remembers they came first or asks how they got the name Mubi and sees the connection to "movies," a competitor idea to "tubies." working in the film industry in 2176 is synonymous with working for Tubi to a degree twice that of Disney in 2026. their slogan "Free Forever" no longer refers to their subscription-free model but the motto of the radical movement looking to abolish copyright and corporate media entirely.
