Dailymotion also offers a site similar to YouTube for uploading, viewing and sharing of videos which was launched by Orange on March 15, 2005.But it has not achieve a position like YouTube social video networking site.
Its wide range own characteristics which we will mention further
Today you will learn a comparative overview of this, so that you can get an opportunity to understand both of them better.
Why is YouTube Most Popular?
Here after understanding the difference between the Dailymotion and YouTube in detail, you decide yourself that why there is such a difference in the popularity of both.
Dailymotion VS YouTube
You can understand this in some of the following basic points
1. Number of Unique Visitors
The difference in viewership between social media sites, both Dailymotion and YouTube, is actually a big parameter and this difference is a key statistic for the business as it determines the number of video ads and text that will be placed on the site. Although Dailymotion is the second largest video sharing website after YouTube, statistics show that YouTube in terms of unique site visits is far ahead.
Against 237.34 million visits on Dailymotion, YouTube leads the competition with 27.85 billion visitors.
2. Alexa Rank
YouTube is 2nd position in in Alexa Global Ranking and Dailymotion stand on 194th position.
3. Wide Range of Categories
Both sites include organize video content into categories, such as news, automotive, and technology, entertainment etc. But YouTube has more categories which are not yet on Dailymotion such as science and education and cooking and health etc.
4. Video Length
There is also a big difference on the length of the video on both sites, where Dailymotion gives you a maximum video limit of 60 minutes, the other side YouTube does not tie you to the duration as well, here you can freely change the length of your video as per your content. means there is no video length restriction.
5. Quality & Quantity
Dailymotion does not give you so much freedom about content as you get on YouTube, it is beneficial for the user of YouTube. And I think this could be the main reason for increasing the number of visitors to YouTube. Here you can easily find the quality content on the topic of your choice and take advantage of them.
According to a report, a video is uploaded every 2 seconds, which means that you are able to watch fresh and quality content on YouTube.
6. Analytics
As you know that YouTube is Google product; Because of which it has the support of Google and this is the main reason that YouTube has the strongest analytics tools like Insight.
With these advanced tools, businesses as well as individuals can monitor their audience on video.
They can also analyze how long and how often a particular visitor stays on the video. This helps businesses improve their video content so as to attract more visitors.
Other Side, Dailymotion cannot offer you such analytics tool. Here you can not analyze more things. You can access basic information like publication date of the video, nothing more.
7. Restrictions
Both DailyMotion and YouTube have own term & condition and policies that uploaded on their web sites. You can visit and read in details.
Mainly they officially prohibit the display of pornography, abuse and various forms of copyright infringement.
To filter out some of this prohibited content, especially sexually explicit content, both sites feature filters that you can turn on or off.
8. Tolerance
YouTube generally forbids such type of content on their platform, but on the other side Dailymotion allows them to access such content by bypassing age filters and people can easily access these materials here.
So you can say that Dailymotion has a less stringent policy than YouTube.
9. Copyright Issues
YouTube triggers issues like copyright. This should be a very strong point especially for new YouTube creator.
Behind this fact, YouTube motivate the new comers that they create the original content is made better, in which you cannot take any copyrighted content or anything else like music, songs, images.
if you are used unknowingly or without careful examination of any such content, your channel may be deleted or suspended due to this.
Conversely, Dailymotion is flexible on these type of trigger may be a good for video creator, raise very few claims on copyright issues.
10. Innovative Features
YouTube updates itself day to day and provides its users with a good and easy navigation as well as innovative features, such as 3D videos, premium traffic analytics and more.
Dailymotion does not move fast towards innovation. Because of which it is lagging behind in this competition.
11. Video Download
YouTube allows videos to be downloaded for offline viewing later.
Dailymotion is missing this feature. You can not download videos and only watch online.
12. Free to Use
