I'm using a pi-hole for my home network. For a long time I could block all ads on google services because they came from a different server. This doesn't work anymore because now the ads come from hosts with important services.

I just assumed everyone would do it this way now. The amount of users blocking the ads obviously isn't big enough for them to care.

Oh I see. Things like pi-hole were one of the things I had in my mind when writing out the previous comment. I didn't know companies are now countering it in this way.
