Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Dailymotion launched Ray in November 2025, expanding automation across CTV, mobile, and desktop.
  • Dailymotion reported over 400 million monthly users and 5,000 revenue-generating partners.
  • Mojo's 50 million downloads and 300,000 paying subscribers strengthen creator monetization tools.

What critics are saying

  • Google owes Dailymotion €126 million after the July 2026 French antitrust ruling.
  • Dailymotion still fights YouTube and TikTok for creators, viewers, and ad budgets.
  • If Ray and Mojo fail to lift traffic, Dailymotion remains a niche ad-tech subsidiary.

What makes Dailymotion unique

  • CANAL+ owns Dailymotion, giving access to premium media inventory and distribution.
  • Ray centralizes audience prediction, creative optimization, activation, and measurement across 191 countries.
  • Mojo acquisition in May 2025 adds AI video creation for Pro users and advertisers.
