uBlock would not stop an ad that loaded as an untracked first party jpg file.

It's entirely possible to insert first party ads based on what might be interesting to someone reading that content without user tracking.

It's just less profitable.

I doubt it is. I've used those direct deals and while they more work to set up, banner ads on a page with your target audience are often much more profitable than the targeting Google or Facebook uses.
