I never understood why DailyMotion was hailed by politicians and news outlets as a "pearl of french tech". Am I missing something or was it just empty hype by people who didn't know any better?
From my point of view it was just a crappier Youtube clone that managed to remain mildly successful because it tolerated NSFW and pirated content. I saw nothing particularly innovative about it.

It was a name that was recognized outside of France. Most French start-ups are only known locally.
