Youtube has done a decent job of filtering out copyrighted material
I think it depends on what types of copyrighted material are involved. Music piracy is rampant and artists/publishers get little love from Google (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/apr/15/music-industry-youtube-video-streaming-royalties https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/apr/15/music-indus...).
As a small publisher, I can also tell you our copyrighted materials regularly find their way onto YouTube (and Google SERPs) with links to torrents or other unauthorized sites. Filing a DMCA to get them taken down is a PITA, and YouTube/Google is not proactive about handling the problem.
