I think we’ll see some separation between ad-free users and those who tolerate the ads. Those who tolerate ads will continue to see a lot of free content. Those who install ad blockers will likely end up having to pay for the same content.
I like the model Microsoft has been using with installed MS Office on PC’s. I chose to go with the version that contains ads, so it’s free to me. Or, I could have paid a few hundred bucks to avoid the ads. I think there are enough people on both sides of the fence to have both options available.

That looks like the answer to my question. Thanks.
