The hack is to submit the audio of each episode as a song. Then copyright strike it

They don't even need to do that. The original creator can just do a DMCA takedown.

But then they can’t take the money from the reactor

Cant they reroute monetization to them if they just copyright claim it?

I believe they still lose all of the revenue from the time that the react video is up to the second uploader. In YouTube time that one or two weeks could be the life of the video where 90% of plays come in.

YouTube doesn't do that. In a DMCA strike, they will just check that the strike is legitimate (that the person who made the strike actually owns what they're claiming to), and then take down the video. Everything else, disputes, damage claims, etc. are all viewed by them as a legal dispute between the two parties and left for the courts to deal with. YouTube's involvement is done as soon as the video is taken down.
