Dailymotion a much better improved site now!

Note: My last account was lost, so this is a more updated review. So i started to use YouTube and Dailymotion in 2005. Both sites was great in its prime, then went down hill, YouTube much worse due to its copyright nonsense, Dailymotion with their always changing designs. I left YouTube back in 2014 and after google plus was shut down. Dailymotion i stayed with them, something about them idk, the site feels original and there's less fake videos. I always kept coming back even i got so sick of what was going on the site, changing the design, removing comments, removing banners, ads out of control, and some other stuff that just made me quit the site.However, i notice something about Dailymotion which i enjoyed:Pros:Encoding videos after uploading is super fast, way faster than YouTube.Less copyright restrictionDoesn't force you to use a phone number or IDEasier to get verifiedBetter more simple design Than YouTubeSleek DesignComments are backVideo player is sleek lookingUse an AdBlock, they worked and the site will feel more conformable to use.Cons:Banner removerUser channel design doesn't look really good anymoreAds are insane...Now about the ads, i read all the reviews over the years, yes the ads are insane. But it seems like people never heard of adblock, use it. Dailymotion has made the ads insane on their site and they need to have them like Youtube, quick and only loads up in one spot on the videoWe need adblock, so use it and the site feels so much smoother and better.Overall, dailymotion has come a long way and alot of stuff has improved, comments are back, videos are smooth, the site works well, using adblock helps works and makes the site feel more good to use. Stuff i want to see though are: Night mode which is long over due for the desktop anyway, banners back, a resign of the entire front page and channel designed.Highly recommend though, and a much much better site than YouTube.
