Classic @TeamYouTube. You wrongly flag a video automatically as inappropriate, and by the time the flag is removed after manual review, the video has peaked in views and lost most of its revenue anyway, and you get away with a "whoops" while offering no recompense for your error.
I feel like the irony in that is most of the smears come from their bad practices. they made their own bed and now are punishing content creators for it.
