    He should make DMCA requests to himself from an outside source so it pre-emptively locks up the request system.

      Pretty sure the DMCA claims take the material down and give you a copyright strike. And not everyone has access to the other system that can affect monetization.

      The only example I’ve seen of this being possible is making some unique song/sounds and putting them in the video, signing up with one of the rights management companies that does have access, and then claiming your own content. Still not perfect as they take a fee and a cut of “recovery” iirc.
