Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 100 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many users found the website and app to be plagued with an excessive number of advertisements, making content nearly impossible to watch. These ads were often long, repetitive, and frequently interrupted videos, sometimes even restarting them or playing over the content. Customers also reported significant issues with buffering, freezing, and glitches, which further hindered their ability to view videos continuously. The search functionality was often criticized for being ineffective, and some users experienced problems with login information and account security. However, some people mentioned that the platform offers a good variety of content not found elsewhere, and that using an ad blocker significantly improves the experience. Additionally, a few reviewers appreciated the fast video encoding and the less restrictive sign-up process compared to other platforms.

Worst video server ever created . Was good before they install buffer tecnology. The buffer only freezes the video. Is very annoying. The video starts in beggining and than freezes because the buffe... See more

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

No history of asking for reviews

This company hasn't invited their customers, so reviews may not be representative

Dailymotion is an unreliable app

Dailymotion is an unreliable app. In the beginning it was great and I got hooked. Now I can’t get any movies to load and watch. It’s very frustrating. For a short time prior to today I could watch only movies intermittently my iPhone but not my iPad. Previously I was able to load and watch movies.

Way too many

It is reasonable to have some ads on a platform. However this platform delivers about 1.5 minutes of ads every 3 minutes. The percentage of time you are watching ads to get through a one hour video is at a ridiculous level. It does not make sense economically either because faced with this, it is not worth watching future videos there. Half as many ads and you would actually stay for multiple videos.

Slightly better than before,still needs a lot of work.

I do have a Channel on this site,so not just going by what I see on it.
In this day and age hard to believe there is no way subs or people coming across your uploads can comment on them below the videos.
The amount of ads here has been well documented.
It's even worse than You Tube in that respect.
It's not the worst social media site but it's far from the best.
Their Customer Service department leaves a lot to be desired also.
If you didn't already have a Channel here personally wouldn't bother.
There are a few TV Shows that would go up here that wouldn't on You Tube,that's only reason I am on it still.

If you Want to sit through advertising…

If you Want to sit through advertising watch a movie every 5-7minutes for 1m.30seconds to 2min.30sec
It's absolute murder,I only managed about 15minutes and 4advert cuts was my end....
You cannot get to into enjoying anything with so many interruptions every couple minutes, Impossible.
If I could Daily motion get Zero Stars.

Worst company for publishers

The company no longer pays its publishers. I haven't received any payments since August 2024. I have 6 outstanding payments. I contacted support and got the same response. They told me that my issue has been forwarded to the appropriate department.

Beware - you cannot delete your account

I gave them 1 star because you cannot give a minus score and yet, they deserve at least -2 stars.

I have been trying since the beginning of March to delete my account and they just come up with excuse after excuse and blame me and yet here we are in April and I am no closer to closing my account.

Firstly they say I signed up for a partner account when if I had known I would not have done this so I was coerced. Now they say I have to email them from the account associated with them which I have done 3 times and they still have done NOTHING but blame me and pretend they haven't received the emails. The last email I cc'd myself and now they are saying I sent it to myself.

NEVER Use Dailymotion they are garbage

Also, you cannot get comments on videos they say it is coming but not there yet for Australia. Why not?

They don't pay out

They don't pay out. There is no problem with the payout method and when you ask why they don't pay out, they can't even give you an answer. They fool me by saying every time that my question has been forwarded to the right department. I have been trying for 6 months to receive a simple payout. Don't waste your time by posting videos on this site.

Good quality resource for cartoon fans

There are a lot of decent quality cartoons on here, especially Adventure Time spin off: Fionna & Cake. Great resource for fans to watch now that it's been out a while. Hard to find it anywhere else. Many cartoons are available on the site, which is great for people trying to watch something that's not available on subscription services in their region

Slowest site on the internet

Slowest site on the internet. Full of ads and videos are unwatchable. Ads at start if everyone streaming fine then you get the video you want and it constantly buffered for 3 seconds every second. Reminds me of the days using dial up, never thought websites would be this slow in 2025. Poor poor site shame videos look good but site is only good if you want watch adverts...
