1. Won't happen at 100% penetration. Horses are still ridden. Some people still use quills. People without adblockers become more valuable.

2. Personal, targeted advertising rather than mass advertising. [Only you can see this: Why not try a holiday in Greece next year - it's cheap and the beaches are great, fantastic culture and the people are pretty easy on the eye.]

5. There will be an increase in sponsored material. [This reply brought to you by Drupal. The finest CMS you will ever use.]

6. People will be paid to not have adblockers switched on. [Thanks for reading. Now click here for your $1 - news.ycombinator.com.]

Things change. Nobody expects economies to be static any more, do they? People will invent new ways or re-invent old ways.
