What will happen is that the ads will go underground. You'll simply no longer know whether the person talking to you is an 'ad' or really saying something they stand behind. To some extent this is already happening, but banning ads will push that to the limit.
Ads at least can be controlled by the platform to a degree with user generated content that is much harder because there is so much more of it.
