What media companies don’t want you to know about ad blockers

I was just thinking of ye olde self-service in-house ad vendor, server, statter. If the static ad assets were coming from the same domain, how would an adblocker notice them?

well instead of blocking googleads.com/, they would just block nytimes.com/googleads/

Obviously in execution it would be different, but I hope you get the idea.

Edit: I think self-served ad platforms are one way forward, but it depends on what problem you're trying to solve.

If I were designing this system, the paths would look something like nytimes.com/e2be6560/d570/xxx-yyy-zzz(.jpeg/.js/.html/etc).
