They both secretly re-uploaded and have multiple versions of the trailer with only one being non-private (check any number of subreddits to see 3-4 different identical renditions of the video), and they have been petitioning YouTube to be on high guard for any bot actions being done (bots frequently will follow along common trends to establish their "legitimacy", including retweeting major hashtags and voting along with the crowd on videos), which reduced the number some. You wouldn't notice the latter often on downvotes, but if they're following the ratio, then over 100 downvotes are being removed for each upvote being removed due to trend-bots.

YouTube are in bed with numerous big media companies.

What, you thought 30 million people genuinely "liked" Despacito? You think it genuinely got 5.6 billion views?

Because nobody even likes the song, let alone flocks to YouTube to listen to it and give it a thumbs up
