Every movie I click on does not have any content posted, just links to external spam/phishing sites. Very disappointing!

I loved watching Doc Martin on Daily Motion but the popup ads are so annoying now I can barely make it through 1 episode. Netflix casts seamlessly to my tv but DM is constantly interrupted forcing me to go through the motions of refreshing, pausing, playing all over again to get it to cast. Then I have to find where I left off and immediately there are the ads that happen. Too frustrating to deal with technology that seems like it was written in the mid 90's! Please get your team together... it can't be that difficult.

This website is terrible. One of the worst I've ever seen. The only good thing about it is that it's free and it's so not worth it. I'd rather spend a month's salary than use this. They literally play ads (2 at a time) every 3 minutes, there are constant pop ups on the screen, and it makes your computer freeze. It's not a spam website, but it's pretty damn close. It used to be better, but that's how this $#*! works. People wanna make money so screw if we like it.

Fraudulent site
November 26, 2023

It claims to show advanced episodes when in fact it would be showing previous ones! It also makes you waste time with the ads (where their money comes from, I assume) and then all the buffering!
Not recommended at all!

In order to even register you have to set up your birthday by scrolling backwards, month by month, from the current date. Takes forever. No English subtitles Whoever designed the enrollment process is a moron and had no sense of using the site. Worst I've ever seen. Forget it

Not Good Quality
April 12, 2023

I was using this app to watch The Young & the Restless. Most of the videos are horrible quality with some annoying background sound running constantly. The View posted decent quality Y & R episodes without the background noise, but now I can't find ANY episodes….only short clips.? What happened? Some times you have to type the date in a different way, which is bizarre, but I've tried every way possible and nothing.

How in the world can a business survive doing something that nobody wants it to do? My god, the ad volume, the way in which the ads are shown, the repetitiveness of the ads. Wow! I had ads knocking the browser out of full screen mode. Repeatedly. It felt like the ads were an obstacle course trying to prevent me from watching the video I was watching. Actively warring against me. I will do everything in my power to not use dailymotion ever again.

Ads and Nothing But.
February 28, 2024

Dailymotion forced me to disable my ad blocker to access the site. I did and there were three long, identical ads before the video began. After the video had played for about three minutes, more of the same long, identical ads played.
I get that they need ads to generate revenue but if they overdo it (which is putting it mildly), it completely ruins the experience for the viewers.
I thought TV ads back in the day were annoying but they were never this invasive.

Dailymotion website is a absolute mess to use. I mean the layout and UI is terrible. I can't even search for anything, the search function does nothing. The hilarious part is at the bottom of the website that it says designed with in Paris, FR. My $#*! made with love.

I USED to enjoy streaming a few shows I couldn't find anywhere else, like Prisoner Cell Block-H, and the FAME TV series. Until the obnoxious ads began interrupting all play. Right in the middle of a dialogue or a fight scene. Idiot popups ads ruining everything. Then if you attempted to back-track, you got ANOTHER obnoxious popup. It never used to be like this. I could watch a full streaming with 1 15-second ad as a commercial break. It's ridiculous. Then... somehow I got logged out. So I tried logging back in, and suddenly my password is bad, and the reset doesn't work. UGH!

Pathetic
December 19, 2021

This platform is so pathetic I thought YouTube had it's issues. Nothing that you want to see is ever available it's on there like it is BUT there's a ridiculous disclaimer with the word oops, really? Then there's a expectation that someone is supposed to follow, again really? I couldn't give this platform a rating because a 1 star is too much of a compliment. So just do everyone a favor and just completely take the Dailymotion platform down and dismiss it. Apparently I had to give a star otherwise I couldn't post my review but please don't take it to heart this platform is still pathetic. I need y'all to do better

I can understand a video platform having to run ads for revenue. But I don't understand a video platform running ads every five $#*!ing minutes. Not only running ads every five $#*!ing minutes they duplicate themselves most of the time.

I would've been better off buying the mini series I watched off eBay for 15 bucks.

Instead of running one minute Worth of commercials every five minutes they should run three minutes worth of commercials every 15 minutes at least that way the viewer I have a better chance of keeping track of what they're watching, this site is pathetic, I see why it is ranked 92 in video sites rankings

Horrible!
April 24, 2022

Ads talking over the movie and no way to stop it. Ads every 5 minutes in addition. The talking over drove me insane, I couldn't even turn them off by lowering the volume. I hope the owner gets run over by a locomotive!

Complete Morons
October 6, 2021

I uploaded a video with music. The song in question was from the YouTube Royalty-free Audio Library. The song even has the disclaimer:
YouTube Audio Library License
You're free to use this audio track in any of your videos, including videos that you monetize.
No attribution is required.

These idiots still dinged it, mentioning some music copyright issue BS.

With adverts literally every 5 minutes, what makes this dreadful website even worse is the fact that TWO identical adverts play back-to-back each time.

I can't even be bothered to elaborate further and spend any more precious time talking about this dreadful site, but you get the idea.

Watch things on YouTube or Vimeo instead.

My relationship with dailymotion was fine until 1. They started charging to see certain portions and 2. They say I violated policy when I can barely navigate the site. Another loss I cannot reverse or have any say so about.

Don't even bother
February 8, 2018

I don't want to have to go into each channel I am subscribed in to see if they have new videos. The new layout/feed is totally useless. Auto sign out after however long means having to remember to turn OFF the family filter when signing back in. Just link the option to the account ffs. If you wanted people to stop using it - then mission accomplished. We get it, minimal site design is IN - but in this case it means minimal account options to enhance our viewing experience. Cannot be bothered with it anymore.

Just Terrible! I got to watch half my video then it stopped. Did this twice and even downloaded the app but not any better. And during it all many ads so I know where they're getting their revenue. I was never asked to purchase during my horrible experience so I'm not sure what thats about. I wish I had seen rating before I spent so much time for nothing.

Seriously Daily Motion, you would be the most hated website with Ads. You put my anger level so high with under 5 mins ad after ad which really doesn't give a good impression. Yes you have clients paying for their ads but really I would never promote, rate this website to anyone. The only good thing you got going for it is all the comments of unhappiness.

Too unstable!
January 12, 2016

I deleted my account with them today; they do not communicate with me. I tried to find out today why I was blocked by calling them (because I could not even access their site, let alone their help page!) at their New York number. They never responded---and I had spent an hour trying to get a hold of them!
I don't like Daily anymore at all.
I will find another host, besides youtube and Daily.
Youtube is better, but I need more than one host to work on my work. A plan a and b, obviously, because of these problems.
Daily, good luck trying to resolve things.
I wish you could improve your communication!
I found out my blockage was due to a DNS problem but since DM did NOT get back to me, I have fired them from my use. No longer required, DM!
