  • shouldn't there be no ads on a video if the creator doesn't select the option

    lol

    Youtube screens ads on content which they've demonetised based on content guidelines.

  • that's what I meant

    That's not what I meant. YouTube are making money off content which they have told the original creator is not suitable for monetisation due to content such as depicting dead bodies or Nazi insignia - the demonetisation is killing legitimate history channels, but YouTube making money off it anyway just adds insult to injury.

    You can't tell YouTube not to run ads over your content, you can't control which ads they run, and you can't assert any claim to a share of the ad revenue. Of course, they have a right to act like that, and I wouldn't want anybody to attempt to stop them by force of law, but they are a bunch of cunts who nobody in their right mind would trust as a long term reliable host.
