If ads didn't exist, the pricing of that content would be quite different...

The distribution of content might be quite different - but remember that ads aren't free - they're just another middleman that has to be paid, priced in in the cost of goods, a net drain from the point of view of the consumers (on first approximation at least).

I mean, on the whole, the vast majority of ad supported content is in fact clickbait trash.
