Of course, but nobody needs to manage a torrent, it just dies because nobody joins it.
A centralised system like a tube, forum or file upload site is much more susceptible to this kind of attack, it requires power, cpu time etc to handle the uploads and then requires some kind of admin intervention to remove the unwanted content.
The flagging and rating of videos can be spoofed easily, thus making it more difficult for sites to screen based on that alone.
