These adds that stream in the corner of the screen are annoying and interfere with viewing, especially if there are subtitles. I would rather the program stop and have a selection of adds than the very disruptive streaming adds.

15 Second advertisements every 3 minutes of play, is just too much. I would rather watch 30 second every 15 minutes at least. Cannot focus on what I watch with that frequent interventions.

Dailmotion Suicide
April 14, 2017

DM CEO Saada claims in the last 2 years he has cleaned up Dailymotion site. One look at DM and you can see the site has not changed. We can see videos that have been posted up to 3 years ago.
Even with parental controls on, We can see garbage videos with nudity. Not even quality nudity, more splashed around. With bad titles.
Saada and Dailymotion claims they want to build a quality and family site.
They failed. Plus with the Hack of 85 million accounts. One thing they say is well good thing DM does not keep financial data. LIE, they have financial data on people who upload videos for profit. How can they pay them without financial data?
So complete lie on company to cover themselves
Inaddition to all that. Dailymotion has continued to copyright infringement in Russia. When Russian Media tried to contact DM, they were ignored. Now DM is banned in Russia.

I am a children's book author, and they are advertising that they have one of my titles "Being Bilingual is Fun! As an ebook. No they don't. They may have scanned the book cover, to trick people into subscribing to their service, but they definitely can't deliver this work as an ebook. Try Amazon.com or Kindle instead.

Basically like the title says I couldn't even watch 30 freaking seconds of a episode of Generator Rex because that website tried to load about 20 different ads all at once. Actually make that 6 seconds. DON'T GO USE DailyMotion ITS NOT WORTH IT.

This seems to be the simplified version of the "most known site on this subject out there". The ads are really annoying. It has some interesting content, but at my opinion its not that worth it.

Daily Motion is a Scam
November 23, 2016

Stay away from DailyMotion, they make you partner with them only to refuse to pay you when your views start going up, they also do not reply to you when you send them a message, their customer services department is a joke, I believe they are a bunch of indians trying to scam the world, do not do anything with them they are a fraud.

I primarily used DailyMotion through the years to watch episodes of MLP, but lately I've hardly been able to enjoy the show because of the insane quantity of advertisements. It's loading ad after ad while I try to watch the video, hogging my internet to the point that the video itself is starting to have trouble loading. I tried turning on my adblock (I disable it for websites that I genuinely appreciate and would like to give ad revenue to), but surprise surprise, the video inexplicably turns completely black after any advertisement loads leaving me to watch the video with only my ears, so I had to disable it and refresh the page.

Lastly, towards the end of the video, DailyMotion directed me AWAY from my video, despite me not touching a thing, to some $#*!ty download for software that I don't even remember what it was, but I guarantee it was either a scam or a virus. That's just plain scummy, especially when I'm letting the site suck up my bandwidth with its non-stop ads.

Good variety of shows and movies, but I'm not using DM anymore whatsoever.

I've been with Dailymotion for years, never had any problems. I'd posted a few clips here and their, a few clips were private due to being potentially copyright violating, such as funny moments from my favourite shows.

Over the last few years, Dailymotion had been cracking down on NSFW content, despite allowing such content before with age filters. One of my private videos wasn't exactly safe for work, but I'd assume it was permit-able as only I'd view it. A few months ago, I found that same clip on another video sharing site, someone had been attempting to steam private videos that were mine. I messaged dailymotion about it, they didn't reply and today I find my accounts disabled. 30 legit videos gone and one NSFW video that wasn't even accessable. Thank you Dailymotion, now I know where you get your website name. You're full of sh*t.

Dailymotion has a wonderful playlist for old episodes of Inhale Yoga. I used the playlist for a few years, but now the advertising has become too burdensome for my browser(s)--interrupting the feed (which oftentimes does not return), being FAR LOUDER than the video content, which I cannot easily change while in posture. I found the same playlist on youtube, so that is where I will be getting this content from now on.

The connection does not seem to be as great as YouTube and there are way too any adds. There are some that just randomly start playing around the page and it disturbs me from listening to the video I want. Then there are some that just don't go away and I have to reload the page! I defiantly prefer YouTube.

A SCAM UNIT
May 10, 2016

DO NOT PARTNER WITH DAILY MOTION.
I made 600$ with dailymotion with 100% genuine views. Now i have more traffic like 25k in a day on my videos and they are paying only 50-60$ a month. I will not upload anymore and even erase my videos from their website.

Please Fix This Site
March 23, 2016

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.

Daily Motion inexplicably dropped the paid live feed of the 2016 ISU Synchronized Skating Junior World Challenge Cup just as the top five teams were about to begin their free skate, and has neither furnished a re-broadcast link to its paying customers nor offered even a partial refund. Absolutely no one would have paid to watch the competition if they were informed in advance that they couldn't watch the winners. If you were one of the hundreds of affected viewers, please consider signing this petition to ISU to suspend dealing with Daily Motion for a year or however long it takes to get its act together: https://www.change.org/p/ottavio-cinquanta-suspend-daily-motion-and-croskate-from-doing-business-with-isu-for-at-least-12-months

Too unstable!
January 13, 2016

I deleted my account with them today; they do not communicate with me. I tried to find out today why I was blocked by calling them (because I could not even access their site, let alone their help page!) at their New York number. They never responded---and I had spent an hour trying to get a hold of them!
I don't like Daily anymore at all.
I will find another host, besides youtube and Daily.
Youtube is better, but I need more than one host to work on my work. A plan a and b, obviously, because of these problems.
Daily, good luck trying to resolve things.
I wish you could improve your communication!
I found out my blockage was due to a DNS problem but since DM did NOT get back to me, I have fired them from my use. No longer required, DM!

The sound quality is good
December 14, 2015

Although the visuals are not precisely synchronized with the sound, the sound quality is not distorted. The sound is more important than the visuals. Keep the sound and sacrifice some of the visuals,... It's the Music... Brilliant thank you.

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.
