The oversupply simply translates into 'more space for billboards' to make a real world analogy and all that does is make the ads get cheaper per unit (display, click, conversion) than it would have been otherwise. Though this holds less strongly for conversion based pay-outs because there is an obvious disconnect there between the displaying of the ad and any pay-out to the holder of the inventory.
