I keep on getting messages telling me that I should do the decent thing and turn my adblocker off when browsing the sift, which is fair enough I guess, it isn't a free operation and all that, and dag needs a source of income from somewhere.

But here is why my adblock is still turned on.

The adverts are terrible.

Please, if you want me to help you generate revenue for this site, please do it in a much classier way, because currently, adverts for butlins, get rich quick schemes, adverts for genealogy, dating sites that assume that just because I watch a video that has the word gay in them I must be gay (and coincidentally also believe that by matching peoples names equals success), have got to go.

as the later is something I might actually buy.
