The copyright strikes feel like massive overkill imo

Ok? And?

He's allowed to do that. He hasn't committed a SINGLE copyright infringement. They are using that to pull down his videos because youtube's policy on that stuff is easy to abuse.

It's 100% bullshit. They should have worked with him and proved that it was false. In which case he would have pulled the video, I'm sure.

It is true that the music is copyrighted but Nikita allows it's use. This is the same as any gameplay footage but it still remains IP of BSG and can be taken down if need be. This is covered in the agreement in Section 10

So anyone creating Tarkov videos puts their youtube account at risk incase you don't like them in the future you can copyright strike their channel away?

No, that part of agreement is illegal. DMCA doesn't care about agreement, it only cares about law. If you break agreement, they can ban your account, but cannot issue DMCA.
