Readit NewsThis is naive at best. Some of the worst ads (popups/popunders/autoplay flash with sound) existed years before adblockers.

I think maybe it's time to integrate the Olivia Hill rule into the fabric of our community, at least informally.
Of course this hypothesis is as based in reality as yours, so the only thing we can do is try and find out.
I'm not familiar with the details of these experiments but the first thing that strikes me is that this cannot be experimentally tested without guaranteeing participants a lifetime of UBI. They don't drop out of the labor force because they know it's temporary.
You wouldn't quit your job if you're only promised 2 years of UBI, because the cost that resigning has upon your future employability may be greater than the money from the UBI experiment. Or if you did quit, it would be to make a gambit (such as going back into schooling or training) that will leave you better off once the experiment is over.
The only reliable experiment design would be putting a few million per participant into some guaranteed annuities fund.
But now if this were done, the US government would need less or the same domestic production to ensure the coffers are filled. If, by some magic wand, this passes and domestic production can meet all of our supply needs, what then?
