Actually I don't believe modern publishing will survive the next ten years, ad-supported or not (weird de ja vu over all this). I think all these forms of entertainment will collapse in on themselves and leave us building something new and fresh out of the ashes.

EDIT: And the world the younger generation lives within, although AD supported, is a world where IP and copyright mean nothing. They are less than zero when it comes to the concerns of the youth now. When I was a teenager I would have to save up and wait months for the latest VHS video releases, or an album and forget being able to get hold of an out of print book. That meant travelling and phone calls and knowing the right people. All this is gone now. The same value propositions we had with physical objects don't work in the digital realm, they're just not perceived the same, no matter how much you'd like them to have an equal value to their real-world counterparts.

Capitalism is crumbling now, the open-market never was open as we're learning, all that you thought was real is gone in the face of the digital.
