Taking away advertising doesn't take that away. It just means websites no longer free load by wasting our free time.

If you want to get back to “The Real Internet” you are going to have to start hosting all your own images, blog posts, e-mail server

No, you wouldn't. But also not a terrible idea. We don't need 90% of the content online. We need most of it scrubbed.
