“A Better Experience than YouTube, but What ads?”

Shawn V.

What ads? I'm reading all these reviews about there's too many ads on Dailymotion, has people not heard about using an "ADBLOCK"? I haven't seen any ads in years. I am however aware of how bad the ads are on Dailymotion lol, which is why i said to use an adblock. That's all you have to do. As for Dailymotion in general, the entire site has changed for the worse over the years. But there's some good points which is why i always come back and stay using this site. I will covered the good and bad. The Good: Quicker and easier way to get verified badge over YouTube. More easy to navigate and browse the site, doesn't feel sluggish, don't need a phone number to access all features, faster uploading system over YouTube, faster optimizing videos over YouTube. Most Important, the Copyright System is way less strict compared to YouTube, you can upload more content which doesn't get flagged. The Bad: Comments are gone, recently banners were removed, feature videos is gone, the entire user channel design has changed and it looks awful and too plain looking, no categories section, the new front page looks awful, can't see your subscribers, there's no following videos tab on the front page, no dark mode. I uploaded 3 photos, you can see clearly that the entire website front and user channel is terrible looking. The Bottom line: Despite all the features being removed from Dailymotion, Overall the experience dealing with Dailymotion is better. If you're seeing ads just use an AdBlock, problem solved. I do hope most of the features come back to Dailymotion and more importantly they need to completely redesign the user channel design, its way too ugly and stupid looking now. Now sure what the staff is thinking. Why would you remove banners from a user channel? I would choose Dailymotion over YouTube for the simple fact that the copyright system is way better and less hassle signing up to the site and uploading speed is faster.

“Fraudulent site”

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!

The sight has many frustrating issues with things such as episodes are not being shown in order according to series, looking for particular episodes by manually entering does not come up and entering the information is no good because words are not able to be spaced. The same ad plays over and over again and will not let you see video, sometimes the sound is too slow for the video, definitely not worth paying for this

It's a good video sharing website but it's still way worse than youtube for example by many params in speed in video quality and all other things like that entirely and absolutely anyway, I do want to make all that possible within that risk. Thanks for that!

Why does the Dailymotion website always skip or stop? I know it not my computer, so what is going on? Its a good website because it has a lot of good stuff to watch, but that stopping and skipping stuff need to stop. It's annoying and makes me not want to be on that site... Hopefully whatever is messing it up gets fixed.

Nice try to compete with YouTube but Dailymotion can't even get close. Still, nice site.

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.

Out of all the video hosting sites, this is probably one of the okay ones because they allow videos longer than 10 minutes, plus they don't mess around with your videos like YouTube does. Oh, and they don't have a close your account form. That's about it.

Tip for consumers:
Dailymotion is better than YouTube. Use this site instead.
