I think you're underestimating the willingness of some "drivers" to try and
scam an insurance company.

Given the cost of the windshield replacement, I wonder how much net profit
they've got.
I googled, and while for a regular car the windshield replacement costs some
$100-400, for an exotic car like a Ferrari, the bill seems to be exceeding
$1000 (I saw some $2.5k windshield offering on eBay, and
someone had a blogpost about Aston Martin windshield replacement that was about
$4.5k)
I also see this estimate of an average pay-off for 1 million views:

between $300 and $2000.
So, even in the best case scenario, the total net profit seems to be not worth
the trouble. Am I making a mistake in my estimates?

If you were to look at his videos, - he is clearly in the business of
earning "click" money from his Youtube videos.
So, I suspect Mark's hypothesis as well as Ann and Rob's
clarifications are correct.
About a year ago a couple of "bros" posted a YouTube video of them
attempting to do a photo shoot with a Ferrari (or some other exotic
car) in the middle of Manhattan by simply stopping in traffic and
going about the shoot. Then a local guy, fed up with the traffic jam,
shows up with a baseball bat and smashes their windscreen in revenge.
The video spread like wildfire for a couple of days. Then someone
discovered the guy with the baseball bat was in on it and the whole
video was a set-up.
I think this dweeb and his "copyright lawsuit" represent just a
half-assed version of the seme thing.
