Vox Media, the parent company of tech news outlet The Verge, has issued multiple copyright claims on videos criticizing its widely maligned PC building tutorial video. Using YouTube's copyright claim system, Vox lodged copyright strikes against several different channels that made criticism or parody videos of the tutorial. YouTube issued a copyright strike against some of the channels in question before reversing the decision, citing fair use under the DMCA.

QuoteAs a quick note, a copyright strike can demonetize a video's ad revenue, reroute ad revenue to the claimant of the copyright violation, or result in the removal of a video or entire channel
This is incorrect. Copyright strikes only happen as a result of filing a copyright takedown notice, which always results in the video being removed from YouTube. What you're describing is a 'contentID claim' or 'copyright claim', (except for the "removal of an entire channel" part).
Copyright claims and copyright strikes are very different, and should not be used interchangeably (which you've done multiple times in this article) because a strike is far more severe than a claim.
When a video is claimed through contentID, the claimant can demonetize, take all future ad revenue, or block the video. Aside from that specific video, the channel is completely unaffected. You can NOT receive a strike from a copyright CLAIM. A copyright STRIKE always blocks the video, and the channel receives a strike which has severe consequences for a channel. It can affect the channels ability to monetize videos, and they may lose access to certain features. Three strikes result in the channel being terminated, and the user is no longer allowed to make new channels.
I know the language they use can be confusing. You can read more about the differences on the YouTube Help site.
