Be careful what you wish for.

Commercial ads aren't perfect but they represent a decent middle ground for content creators. And have a powerful moderating effect on webmaster behavior.

If you want a nasty experience, look at any non-sponsored digital eco-system which doesn't qualify for display ads. Things tend to get pretty raw in a hurry. (and most nice content creators stop wasting time and get regular jobs)
