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.

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

Absolute pile of crap

Absolute pile of crap used to be able to have a playlist, not any more. Don’t understand why they changed it, guess it’s all about money. Won’t use it anymore. Don’t waste your time

Dailymotion is awful

Dailymotion has to be one of the worst websites I’ve ever came across. Nonstop crashing and dumbass ads that don’t play on their own. Should be deleted

This is the absolute worst site ever

This is the absolute worst site ever! I just tried watching an old WWF wrestling match. I had to watch about 5 minutes of ads before even getting to the content. When I tried to forward the video, 5 more minutes of ads. When I actually did load the video, very choppy, froze up. I have good internet speeds. YouTube loads just fine. Unless you like watching ads, avoid this site at all costs.

Ridiculous site this is!!

500 ads in each episode of whatever you choose to watch! After watching these ads over and over again, you feel disgusted by the products they are trying so hard to push down our throats!!!

Daily Bowel Motion

Loud, annoying advertisements every 4 or 5 minutes. Impossible to enjoy a video. Lousy user experience. Actually, far, far worse than YouTube. Better known as Daily Bowel Motion because it's absolute sh*te!

Me taking the time to type this says everything about this website.

First time on it and every video i watched had unskippable 15 seconds ads back to back. Im okay with ads once in a while but they kept showing up every minute (im not exaggerating).

Will go be back and does not recommend

I tried to watch a video

I tried to watch a video - the world at war, the series from the early 1970s. I'm glad that it was available, but watching it was almost impossible because of the amount of ads.
These ads are 1 minute in duration or more. You cna't skip them and they are so annoying that I just gave up. I'm very sad that Dailymotion has opted for this experience, because I appreciate having a competitor to youtube.

Terrible website to watch videos

Terrible website to watch videos. After 5-10 minutes you will have to watch the same 30 second advert twice and there is no option to skip adverts like YouTube.

Today I am experiencing something even worse, I watched the same advert twice, then the video failed to continue to play what I was watching so I had to reload the page and the video started from the beginning, so I had to then try to find where I watched to. As soon as I found where I go to in the video, BANG, hit with adverts again.

My creator relationship with them lasted 2 days

I'm a creator and only joined yesterday the 1st April 2024 I uploaded 2 song videos. That was fine, then I added a third one today, that too was fine THEN!!!!!!!! I uploaded my 4th song video and they took it down. Apparently copyright infringement. Funny that. I own the song as I wrote it and I own the master rights. So, nobody else can own too. I then counter claimed against it with loads of proof as the song is mine. I'm waiting to hear back. I uploaded the 5th song with myself singing it and i wrote it. Once again it was taken down I assume again due to this fingerprint ID technology. Well, they can get stuffed. I'm not wasting my time trying to prove that I own my own songs. So my relationship with them has lasted 2 days. My advice, don't bother. Those songs by the way have been on youtube for over 5 years and they didn't have an issue. They are even released and on Spotify and Apple etc What is wrong with these companies? They all seem crap. I'm going to delete my 3 videos they didn't take down and not bother with the other 70 I was going to upload. Had enough already. And yes 100% my copyright and ownership. All of them.
