The only ad category left that can make actual money are video ads or referral links
I can't see SN having amazon or vpn referrals any time soon
If SN ever becomes a place to host video - that's more in the future if it happens ever.
Video comes with it's own costs, you have to factor in the hosting and serving and also optimise for serving video content from 3rd parties, if you choose google you get better serving inventory but google takes a big cut, 3rd party video networks pay better but if they outbid google it can leave your users with a poor experience calling that content
