they get a lot of shit because most youtubers would be forced to hand over their pii (name and address) to the reporter. Some reporters are doing this solely to get that information (stalkers, doxxers, etc).

It's unclear, to me, if youtubers could proxy this through an attorney.

Yes. An authorized representative is allowed to submit a counter notification on your behalf, so they would put their name and address instead.
