Well now I'm intensely curious about this. I've turned off monetization on this video https://youtu.be/liJac6RysE4 https://youtu.be/liJac6RysE4 . Please let me know if you see any ads on the video, I'm curious if YT will still display them regardless of my input. (So far I'm not seeing any ads). Edit: Also, when I click on the help icon next to the monetization bubble, the entire Google help article[0] talks about turning on ads. Which seems to imply they're off by default, but they don't mention turning off ads, so who knows if that's just "clever" writing to indicate there's no way to turn ads off.

No ads from me either, at least at the beginning. Almost every other video has an ad within the first 30 sec

No ads on your video. I confirmed I'm not blocking them by switching to another video...instant ads.

Thanks for doing this. Maybe I was wrong. I edited my post to reflect this.

  I don't think you're wrong, this change was widely advertised in 2020: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/11/18/youtube-will-now-show-ads-on-all-videos-even-if-creators-dont-want-them/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/11/18/youtube... https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2475463?hl=en-GB https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2475463?hl=en-GB That said, I checked the parent's video, watching it all the way though... and I also didn't see any ad (and I even watched it on my Chromecast, which usually triggers a lot more ads on Youtube, which is a reason why I never use it for Youtube, but only for Netflix, Disney+, etc.) I assume that ads might be shown, but only rarely. Probably Youtube wants to run them, to have the flexibility to recoup on some of the infra costs for videos which wouldn't otherwise earn revenue (i.e. they aim net zero for non monetized videos... but this is my speculation)
