That is slightly inaccurate: ads are also shown to videos of non-monetized accounts if a copyright claim is made by someone for content on that video and the claimer decides to put ads in it for allowing the content.

I have no monetization enabled for my account and still get text ads because of that.

Good point. Although I've disputed a (inaccurate) copyright claim before and had it removed. Plus technically you're not meant to upload anything that you don't have the copyright for.
