It won't go away. Most people simply just don't pay for digital content. Most people post Archive.is links to news articles proudly, as if the content itself can be created for free. People complain about clickbait, but that's really besides the point. Same thing about YouTube. People even go out of their way to use technologies like Sponsorblocks which will fast forward the video through any mention of an advertisement.
