Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 106 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the website and app frustrating due to an overwhelming number of advertisements, often unskippable and repetitive, which severely disrupted their viewing experience. People reported frequent buffering, videos freezing, and content restarting from the beginning, making it nearly impossible to watch a full video or series. These technical issues, combined with the constant ad interruptions, led many to describe the platform as unusable and a shell of its former self. However, some customers also noted that the platform offers a good variety of content not found elsewhere and appreciated features like quick video encoding and an easier verification process compared to other sites. A few other people also felt that using an ad blocker significantly improved the user experience, making the site more comfortable to use.

Absolutely pathetic, as other people have said you can not watch a video with out having ads after 5 minutes of play and the buffering happens so often through the short film. Instead of films lasting... See more

They made the series private

There are ads every few mins but its tolerable and wasn't much of an issue for me since I was watching a Turkish series(Yali capkini) that i couldn't find from any other website that had english subtitle added. I liked this website a lot and was considering to share this website with my friends and family to let them watch this turkish series on here too, but today i found out that the publisher marked the series as private. Now I cannot even finish that series. I'm so dissapointed and i dont know what to do honestly. I would have given atleast 4 star if they didn't make that series private.

A Better Experience than YouTube, but What ads?

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.

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.

Since the regular updates started last…

Since the regular updates started last year, it's impossible to watch the shows your following, if your lucky enough to get on the sites your following it will show contents from a year earlier. Waste of time now, I search the show I want to watch and cast or mirror my tablet screen to watch the video. I have used it for years, but now, it's so frustrating.

Clickbait site.

Clickbait site.

got clickbaited to this website, and then i get a black video screen that i can't get past. 0 content, 100 % advertisements.
Since this site wants to waste my time, ill waste some extra time by giving this honest review. I also clicked the ads about 50 times and bought nothing. Everyone should start doing this, and sooner rather then later the advertisers wont want their ads on this site, because it will only cost them money. cheers.

If I could give zero I would

If I could give zero I would! Don’t deserve 1 star! Wouldn’t waste time using this site! The amount of adverts and then returns to the start! Going to report it to be taken down!

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. It’s a so-called video content site, but more like a website that forces you to watch endless ads. 🤪
