I think technology will eventually solve this problem through P2P sites that no one owns. Ads will still exist but they'll be mostly as endorsements, official sponsorships, and infomercials (e.g., any corporate blog). People who can't be easily paid this way (e.g., researchers, investigative journalists, writers, artists, open source programmers, forum admins) will eventually collaborate to create a fair system of distributed payments for projects/content. That system will be funded both from the grass-roots and top-down by governments and large corporations.
