The ads are served from static.haydenjames.io. Looks like a Wordpress plugin called Advanced Ads Plus[0] is used.

Soon you'll need a gpu to run real time deep learning models that detect and filter these type of embedded ads...

Interesting, I can't make pihole make them go away. It does not really matter for this site, but I want to be able to avoid it in the future.

Was anyone successful? Are they served from more than one place?

No, it's served from the same domain as the content. They're static images, so the ad and the in-copy diagram are actually from the same source. It's a bit heavy-handed here, but honestly, this is the sort of advertising I don't mind not blocking.

Exactly it's not third party, hopefully not selling the tracking info and it's aimed at the same interest group that reads the article. Might even be useful as opposed to all the targeting ads that never ever made sense to me.

Ahh, ok. That explains it. I was wondering what I was missing. Thank you.

edit: and that I can live with.

It's always gonna be hard to block first party ads that come from the same domain as the content. Fortunately almost no ads like this are really malicious.

Same reason you cant pi-hole youtube ads, they're all served from the same domain as the actual video too.
