QVC dying isn't a shock — who's actually watching TV shopping in 2026? The real question is whether anyone's gonna buy this thing out of bankruptcy or if it just gets liquidated.

QVC never adapted to the internet and got crushed like every other cable-era business that refused to innovate. Hard to feel bad about it.

QVC was already dead the moment everyone got a smartphone. Honestly shocked it lasted this long — who's sitting at home watching someone sell kitchen gadgets on TV when you can just order it in two minutes on Amazon?

QVC lasted way longer than it should have honestly. The entire model was doomed the second Amazon and eBay proved you could buy stuff online without a guy yelling at you for 20 minutes.
