YouTube does act on specific right holders complaints. I know this as a fact. You can go to any video and complain. Many YT vbloggers, including quite prominent ones, complain.

i don't think so.
usually youtube does not act on specific claims by the copyright
holders, but rather proactively searches for potential copyright
violations (via "Content ID") and blocks the content until any issues
are sorted out.

i've had videos of 14 year old pianists playing beethoven being blocked,
because ContentID thought that that was actually a recording by Yehudi
Menuhin. (sometimes they *are* right though)
