We're not talking about mom and pop, here, really. This is presumably a population that is making money on YouTube. Yes, $1000 is a lot to the average person, but as a business expense it's really not much. And getting your channel banned is career (or business) ending.

We are talking about mom and pop though because the complaints are indiscriminate and automated.

Mom and pop have not much to lose on public YouTube content, content creators have.
