I think that you're right that it's going to be a hard pill for users who are used to the ad funded model of the last 15 years.
That said, I believe many (most?) recognize now the tradeoffs of "free" services.
IMO, V4V wins if users feel some sort of connection to the creators/providers that they use.
The other thing that I believe is that the V4V model, when combined with open protocols, will result in far fewer mega-corps and a return to a large number of smaller businesses all doing well, but none becoming completely dominant.
