It's the YouTube bot detection algorithm working. Pissed off script kids are down voting it and YouTube's detectors throw out those accounts periodically therefore down votes disappearing. No bots for up votes so they don't charge.

Algorithm sounds plausible. As usual, in case of calamity, consider Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity", which in our modern age we update by appending "or acts of algorithm"

They seem to be uploading multiple copies and just unlisting the ones that are getting massive downvotes.

Blizzard has uploaded several unlisted versions of the announcement to embed on their website and share on Social Media, dispersing the downvotes among different videos: one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iajnrdSj1o … another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfW3n1rpbdE … :/
