ad links in youtube embed code

Poking around our website and inspecting it (using Ctrl+Shift+I on Chrome, or right-click and inspect), found  that ad_status.js and googleads.g.doubleclick.net are being called. This seems to be from the youtube embed code -


Probably there is no real workaround except drastic ones like not using youtube embed code and using a link instead etc.

Edit: 19 Nov 2020 - Today, I get an email from youtube with their updated terms of service, which includes the following line which may prick quite a few people:
YouTube's right to monetize: YouTube has the right to monetize all content on the platform and ads may appear on videos from channels not in the YouTube Partner Program.
