Ad supported business is a side effect of business / marketing guys taking existing business model to a new medium. There's nothing wrong with it, it's the dumbest model ever to generate revenue. That's not the current web's or law system's fault that people can't come up with a better alternative and bigger newspapers are so clueless how to make money by other means.
I think the real issue is that 99.9% of internet users are not tech savvy and don't really care how the content pops up on their screen. The internet and content is now an utility, like tap water. It's a hard sell to tell everybody to drill their own wells.
