This is true, I have a youtube channel. When it wasn't monetised yet back then, my friends and family saw the ads at the beginning and the end of my videos. Thinking that I already made money from the first couple of videos that I made

Not monetized != Demonetized. Not being in the monetization program doesn't inherently disqualify your videos from ad placement anymore.
