If enough people use ad blocking technologies, the ads and analytics industries will simply switch to server-side / invisible-to-the-end-user options. The only reason why tracking and ad serving isn't done like this today is because it's a pain in the ass and there's high switching costs. Make current practices unprofitable, and switching suddenly looks appealing. A lot of previously theoretical workarounds are being quietly turned into commercial products these days. As a consequence of all the privacy fuss, there's a good chance you'll end up with less privacy than before.
