My fear is that we'll end up in a situation where 90% of the internet is just YouTube, Facebook, Reddit and other giants and people get all of their news, reviews and other information from those sites, which I think is worse than having ads.

This is pretty much already the case though. And they all have plenty of ads despite being incredibly profitable through their paid offerings.
