We will see plenty of high quality stuff still I agree. But much of the free stuff will be about converting you to the paid stuff.

With ads or not you are still the product. You will still be tracked because people want you to spend money on their service. People will sell that information. Companies will use it.

Sure, much of it will. But certainly not all of it. The amount of actually free content will certainly not decrease, and it would probably increase, even if by only a little.

It depends on the site. There are lots of sites where the site operator has no interest in it generating an income, let alone a profit. You are not the product there.
