They're getting tons of views so why would YT care? You don't want your brand to be synonymous with scams. When that happens, you won't get any money from views - if people "know" the videos are scams, they won't watch. They'll assume all videos are scams and won't watch any original content. I'm sure the folks at Google can figure out at what point they need to take action. What amount of bad PR, percentage of views on scam content, percentage of content that is just scams, etc. ...Or maybe they aren't taking the long view on this.
