Why do I see ads on YouTube videos that are not monetized?
A few years ago, on YouTube, one could only see advertisements on a few videos that were monetized. But on November 18, 2020, YouTube announced updated terms and policies regarding the monetization of channels, the YouTube Partner Program, and the placement of advertisements. This announcement stated that advertisements may be shown even on non-monetized channels if they meet the following criteria:

1. The video creator may not have selected all the necessary rights for the content, and the third party, i.e., the right holder, has the copyright of the advertisement shown.

2. The channel is not part of the YouTube Partner Program. Whether the channel is monetized or not, the advertisements shown will provide no income to the owner of the channel. The income from the display of advertisements will be received by YouTube or the third party holding the rights of that advertisement or video, claiming copyright from the third party.
