That's true, you can't opt out of YouTube ads on your own uploads. YouTube still has documentation on how to turn off monetization: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en but since November 2020 they've updated their terms to now say: > Right to Monetize > You grant to YouTube the right to monetize your Content on the Service (and such monetization may include displaying ads on or within Content or charging users a fee for access). This Agreement does not entitle you to any payments. https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=CA&template=terms https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=CA&template=terms They more clearly state what it means over here: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/83733719/updates-to-youtube%E2%80%99s-terms-of-service-november-%E2%80%9820?hl=en&msgid=83733719 https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/83733719/updates-t... > For channels not yet in the YouTube Partner Program: > We added this new section to let you know that, starting today we’ll begin slowly rolling out ads on a limited number of videos from channels not in YPP.

Since you’re not currently in YPP, you won’t receive a share of the revenue from these ads, though you’ll still have the opportunity to apply for YPP as you normally would...

Kinda makes the inevitable conclusion obvious: non-fashion&beauty channels need not apply - non-legacy media will not be permitted much aside from topics that both have: 1) No possibility of generating an objection from the most sensitive of current and potential advertisers. 2) Do not compete with legacy media presently on platform. Makes you wonder about all those outrage mobs that targeted companies with adverts that had the bad luck of randomly appearing in videos that demonstrated wrong-think, and how they've ushered in network television 2.0 while sticking it to all the totally-real-and-definitely-a-threat-to-our-democracy-neo-nazis.
