Ads on my videos, but I'm not in YPP, and no copyright content?

[JonathanVarietyFilms]

A strange thing happened. I watched two different videos of mine at two different times, and they both showed ads in front. I'm not in the YPP, nor do I yet qualify, and there are no restrictions on the videos like a copyright claim. How is this possible? Thanks.

YouTube announced a while ago that they will be doing that.
It was in the most recent terms of service update that we all got emails about.

Here is the exact text from YouTube's Terms of Service.
