there are multiple creators who have complained that they have turned off ads, only to have YT still shove ads in front of, in the middle of, and at the end of their videos. all of which the creator gets zero revenue for since they "rejected the use of ads on their content".

but please, tell me from your armchair research how I'm wrong.

Others, like Forbes senior contributor Ethan Siegel simply don’t want ads on their videos, leaving them ads-free for people to enjoy. That option will no longer be available in the new YouTube terms of service.

It was you saying that they were turning the adverts off, now you're saying they can't. So to call my research "armchair" is quite ironic.

The article you shared said that it's only creators not in the YPP that don't receive revenue but you either didn't read it or just decided to omit that information based upon your predetermined conclusion.
