I've noticed that DailyMotion has started going downhill lately. It started showing videos with almost NSFW thumbnails and conten, randomly recommended next to videos that have nothing to do with them. Like, I'd watch a video from Eurovision and under it, it recommends me music videos that contain nudity and vulgar images. Almost as if there was no algorithm that connects the recommended videos. This is such a shame because DailyMotion is the only major YouTube competitor, but it is starting to become a no-man's land, and K9 Web Protection is showing warnings about it:

Do you use VPN or some anti-tracking extensions, they might be interfering.

Do you have Family Filter ON?

I check a few different searches (ie. gaming, music, how-to) and found from playing a playlist the suggested videos under "Browse more videos" section may not be relevant, but they are SFW (Safe for Work).

If you have a Content Blocker, you may be able to Hide this section.. permanently.

As suggested by @TairikuOkami. This can be found in the footer of the dailymotion website.

Sounds good. Doesn't work. K9 still blocks it.

There's no issue or problems with DailyMotion.

K9 blocking logging.dailymotion.com is probably some tracking protection filters. You get the same result with an ad-blocker.

Example; uBlock Origin Logger showing blocked content
