The "flagging" that is being done is done by youtube's automated content id matching system. Youtube knows it has many faults so even if your content is flagged, you can deny the flag and continue to gain ad revenue. A more accurate TL;DR would be: "Youtube flagged my video, even though it doesn't, it may lead to me losing ad revenue if the music companies illegally pursue me."
