Why are Fortnite Compilations still monetised?

So I recently got a Fortnite Compilation recommended and clicked on it since I was wondering if it is monetised, turns out that it was and still is.
Now I thought it must surely just have been claimed and thats it, but nope, there is not a single claim.

The channel I am talking about:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUg0L_VHJFPROaRfgDA5i6A

I know that he could have just bought a monetised channel, but since he is uploading his compilation stuff without really editing the Clips at all, shouldn't YT have already cracked down on him?
He also doesn't have any claims for copyrighted music, so he didn't use that method.

And if you are thinking that YT is not doing anything because the channel is already established, here is an example of someone who uploads since only 10 months but is also monetised:
https://www.youtube.com/user/GreatestViralVideos

There are tons of more examples, so can anyone please explain how this is possible and why YT doesn't take away their monetisation?

The only reason I could personally think of is that every single one of those channels has the common practice to say something like "use our code" in the first few seconds of the video with their own voice, but can that really be enough?

I'm pretty interested in this too! The content owners must be trying to take down these videos so why haven't they been removed and why are they still monetized for over 8 months? I wish I could keep something like that up for 8 months
 
Not cool outing others.

Outing what? They are using content that does not belong to them, so who cares. That being said, it's free game.

I doubt they are flagging these videos or even know or care about them. That is probably the only reason why the videos are still there.

What those channels are making is pennies compared to the streamer's channel. Tfue's channel has 11.6M subscribers and high engagement whereas those compilation channels are nowhere near that.

They're probably making a little something on the ads I suppose. But Tfue could easily shut channels like that down if he wanted to.
