I have watched a small number of videos about this topic. All of the videos make it seem like this is something easy to do:

* create account

* find victim

* make claim

* earn money

I watched this one and thought to myself that it almost seemed like an ad for recruiting trolls.

One of these content creators should create a second account and file claims against themselves, and perhaps other willing victims. Then produce a video about how easy it was to show the flaw in the system.

The self-claiming thing has at least been done already (through the use of online music labels): <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz14Ul-r63w> and <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieErnZAN5Eo>

YouTube doesn't let just anyone make ContentID claims and start trolling. You do need to jump through a few hoops to get an air of legitimacy first.
