>What is "demonetization"?

YouTube deciding your video is ineligible for earning ad revenue. So the creator gets nothing (or close to nothing, not sure). I'm not sure if it actually stops running ads on the videos since I've been using an ad blocker for ages.

Wow, I would certainly have assumed that if they show ads, they must share the revenue.

If your video gets demonetized no (or much fewer) ads get shown. If ads are shown, revenue is shared between Youtube and the creator.
