This is kind of crazy thought experiment, but would the Internet be really different today if there's no ads? (e.g. somehow it's been considered extremely uncool from the beginning so it's naturally shunned.) Many ad-supporters spread a doomsday scenario like "without ads, the vast majority of the good Internet will die". Is that really true? I dunno. Maybe it's different. But I still put up my contents (writings and source codes) for free with no ads. And it's not so strange to imagine that there are many people like me. Maybe a newspaper would put up a part of their articles for promotion. In that case, the contents themselves are ads. That's not such a bad world either!
