Does Youtube check (some) monetized videos manually?

Hello, i used some copyrighted images in my first videos because i didnt know better. I think the chance that anyone complains is almost zero, so i still want to monetize those videos (i put a lot of work into them and its always just about 1-2 copyrighted images).

If i monetize those videos, will youtube check (some of) them? Is there some sort of process that makes it more likely that those videos get busted?

For example i used a protected image of sisyphus rolling a boulder up a hill, but the video itself is not about "sisyphus" and the video is in german, so i think its unlikely that the rightholder will every see that video or even would complain if he see it.

And i also think im not doing any harm to him.

I already monetized some videos where i used images that are protected and i have the OK from the copyright holder and youtube made no trouble and monetized them instatnly without any questions. I just wonder if there are some sort of "random tests"

Well i posted anonymously because i'm a bit scared that someone sends a copyright complaint even though hes not involved.
