I started using DailyMotion in 2016. It seemed to have all the videos YouTube kept removing. Now they have changed the layout where the annoying "Browse More Videos" comes up at the bottom of the screen instead of the videos in my playlist at the top of the screen.
I HATE this new layout. Not only are they including videos that I DO NOT wish to watch but they are also including PORN featuring topless women and lesbians licking each other. NO THANKS!
I ONLY want to see MY playlists at the top of the screen so I can choose to watch the full list if I choose without having to stop each video and access another one I want to watch from my list! Think I'll be sticking with TubiTV, Pluto and Vudu. Seriously tired of DM!
It's official. I DELETED my DM account today and I refuse to look back. They refuse to go back to their other layout. They think putting stars over the topless women's breasts is enough. And they keep including the same story about R. Kelly from early March which I DO NOT care to watch.
I NO LONGER CARE that DM is the only free streaming site that has Mama's Family, Twilight Zone and Hitchcock available for free. It's not enough to keep me as a user. Bye Bye DailyMotion! Never going back to that site for ANY reason. Tubi and Vudu are my new goto streaming sites. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Never turning back.
Daily Motion is not just ad infested, but every ad plays twice... minimum. Every couple minutes another $#*!ing ad. No thanks, i'll go elsewhere
The fact that they do not allow comments on their site or under their videos is very telling!
The site is laid out as platform built to allow sharing in a delightful community of video enthusiasts. But it isn't quite what it first appears.
The reason they do not encourage comments is because they have little or no interest in the feelings or opinions of their users. Their existence is to profit from us and not cooperatively share.
They thrive on the our desperation and once 'hooked', proceed to try to extract all they can from our viewing experiences.
As a child of the 80s, there are many shows of the 80s and 90s that I hold dear. Most of these are very difficult to get hold of and there lies the problem.
With so little alternatives I find myself consigned to the limited selection of viewing platforms online. Platforms that care little for the integrity of the content or quality of the viewing experience.
Dailymotion do not allow comments because they DO NOT WANT TO HEAR our opinions on the experience.
They are acutely aware of the value of the files they hold and our interest in their content. They know also how limited an access to some of this content exists so are assured of our patronage.
Watching an episode of American Gothic 1995 recently, I endured one of the worst online experiences I've ever had the miss fortune of suffering.
Painfully Enduring a succession of advertisements that diminished the pleasure, distracted from the narrative and disrupted the atmosphere. In fact for a 40-45 minute run time we endured no less than over 8 advert breaks.
Advertisements are supposed to be about selling or seducing the public into purchases of products or experiences. Something that cannot be achieved when forced upon us in such an aggressive and overly repetitive manner.
Dailymotion method of advertisements included in their videos is reflective of their entire ethos - Fishing.
Lure us, hook us and bash us with adverts.
With a collection of rare videos we cannot find elsewhere as the bait, they proceed to feed us advert after advert in onslaught.
Little care is taken to the quality (the recent episode I watched was back to front and terrible picture quality).
Some will probably say- if you don't like it, dont go on the site.
But as it's the only place I can find to watch certain shows from my youth at all there is little choice.
And I personally do not think that the fact they have these and others do not is an excuse to be so poor at what you do.
Any site that has no interest in their users opinions is one that doesn't deserve its place online.
The website was ridiculous and trying to get my videos uploaded to begin with there was no help no assistance just them blaming you for everything and something's wrong when your end after more complaints it just miraculously started working! Do to be a month behind on trying to upload my videos the 2-hour day limit was ridiculous trying to get them uploaded and caught up. In the meantime I thought things were going pretty good until today out of the blue my account was deactivated for no reason! From everything they said but when I was looking into platforms to what was just done is absolutely a lie! They are supposed to honor free speech honor your rights Etc they don't just take you down like they talk about other platforms doing which is ridiculous to talk like that if you're going to do the same but worse because at least the other platforms give you a warning of what you've done they then maybe give you a suspension but you know what you've done you can appeal it and so on and so on I didn't get anything just notified I was deactivated not even a warning or a reason! Just an email saying sorry you've been deactivated! That is a joke! Needless to say from beginning to end it was absolutely a horrible experience and filled with issues and Lies by the Dailymotion and how they conduct business! They also said in the beginning they do not delete your videos so I'm really hoping that I can retrieve my videos and that they're not deleted since I have no other answer besides I've been deactivated or what to do which is another really crappy quality and way to do business! But it could be just another lie as I found out the hard way to this company!
Awful just awful. Ads every five minutes and after an ad it often freezes with a black screen and flashing pause/play button.
Just awful avoid.
I am new to Dailymotion and signed up to their Website Monetize program -- earned some money, not yet paid to me. Then today I made the mistake to use Dailymotion's "repost" tool, and apparently the original author posted content that violated Dailymotion's TOS. Without warning I am banned for "reposting" someone elses content and it is evident that my post is not the original post, but that of the tool that Dailymotion provides and entices me to use and then bans me. I realize these internet companies and tech guru's don't believe they need to provide customer service -- but, really, treat a new "customer" like this right out of the gate? I sent them a an order to see if they respond, but from all of the comments out there I doubt they will -- but, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Dailymotion's TOS claims that they thoroughly review the incident -- I was banned within 30 minutes or so of "reposting" another members content. Now, to make it worse, all of the Dailymotion video's airing through my site, I will need to change to YouTube, Ugh -- Oh well DailyMotion video's are not consistent and the quality is not as good -- I will stick with YouTube. Be aware before you invest any time with DailyMotion.
Repeated advertisement, No use of it. Please remove repeated advertisement and try to update as 1 advertisement per episode.
There are 1-2 minute ads every 5-8 minutes. So many that you can't even follow what's going on in the video
Extremely annoying. Far too many advertisements. I tried watching a 50 minute video and probably had to watch 25 ads. Are you kidding me?
A great website where you can find all the cool videos and stuff.the video are daily uploaded and you can also watch free movies on this website
This website is great! I can watch so many things i can never watch before! Iam very happy with this site thanks so much for improving!
Theres literally ads every 5 min ewwwww ohmygod to make things even worse they dont play only ad video once but twice in the row
Nice try to compete with YouTube but Dailymotion can't even get close. Still, nice site.
Video quality is bit fine but need to be improve quality. Videos are less as compare to Youtube.
My video was removed. My account was banned, and they did not tell me why.
Every 3 minutes and 2 ads. Daily motion is the worst site for videos

This site can't compete with YouTube.com! Nice effort but that is about it!
I can't watch videos on this site. Always says video cannot be played. Disappointing
These guys have been nothing short of outstanding way to go Dailymotion!
Answer: What do you mean you cant watch any videos, can you be more specific?
Answer: Get Adblock -- free download software -- will improve things immensely.
