Then they'll find a way to serve the content and the ad from the same domain.

Simply serve them from your own subdomain, the ad networks still do the heavy lifting, you just fiddle around with domain settings.
It's one possibility. Let's face it, ad networks have done nothing to fight back and adblock itself is really simple software based on rules that block domains and some class names in the DOM.

There are some ways around this (especially for social media sites).
Also, it's possible to block tracking cookies, making their customer profiles less information rich, which would also make the platforms less attractive to advertisers.
Personally I'm surprised online ad revenue is so high, I rarely click on ads, the fact that enough people do to continue to make it worthwhile for advertisers doesn't really make sense to me. Clearly there are important details I'm missing out on.
