Why not build a generic system where ads are served to the server serving the website (which maintains a cache of relevant ads and serves them appropriately)?

That way you can get the benefits of a network + the benefits of serving from the same server that is serving the content

Yeah, I'm sure Adsense will let you proxy requests through my server soon or release some similar offering.

It would come at the massive expense of high-quality tracking and thus incur a massive reduction in ad revenue, but it's an imminent trade-off that beats unconditional adblocking.

I think everything is just waiting for the actual tipping point that forces everyone's hand like we always do. Adblockers are still the minority.
