maybe we should throw out ads and instead let creators borrow our computers to mine for a few minutes while we interact with their content.

I suspect what we'd actually end up with is miners PLUS ads. There's little incentive to not use both forms of monetisation, as neither prevents the other from being used.
I also don't think it's a great trade-off for a variety of reasons (environment impact, possible wear and tear on user's machines, battery life on mobile devices etc.).
