How are some songs able to remain on YouTube for years (via unofficial channels) while others are taken down almost immediately?

Question

For example, Garth Brooks is notorious for sending out DMCA requests liberally on all unauthorized platforms, yet I can search YouTube and find all of his songs easily that have been there for years and are obviously unofficial channels. I know YouTube has an algorithm, and Garth Brooks is a pretty well known artist, so I don’t see how the algorithm could not detect and remove these. Garth himself could search and find these as easily as I could, I imagine, so how do they stay up?

I guess they slow the Original song down about 1% So its an alternate version. Then its legal.
