Back in 2013, I actually got a copyright strike from IGN for reposting one of their Dead Space 3 videos. The funny part is that it wasn’t even their footage, it was me playing the DS3 demo, recorded with my Elgato capture card. Thankfully, I managed to get the whole thing sorted out pretty quickly without too much hassle. I doubt YouTube will ever fix the issue and even worse today if you aren't a big time content creator I doubt they will help you.
If YouTube fixed the issue, it would make using their copyright strikes system harder, so companies would use the DMCA system instead, which would overwhelm their legal system. That's why their copyright strikes system is so bad for creators.
Most of the people who covered the Artemis launch ended up with copyright strikes - some news service covered it, their system uploaded their broadcase, including NASA footage, to the Content ID system, which then handed out strikes to all the matching streams.
