They are slowing videos down just slightly, to maximize run time. This can cause things to sound lower in pitch.

If that's true I really don't understand why we still use YouTube, it's getting worse everyday, almost as if the developers and overseers are doing it intetinally

Strange. Seems like a cheap tactic to get more time and money.

It is. YouTube makes money based on time spent on videos

Altering the pitch is a way to throw off robots that detect copyright music.

The uploader likely edits the pitch or speed to avoid breaching copyright and ending up with a strike on their yt channel etc.

I've never seen an official video do this. Give an example.

The pitch is the same. It's just the sound quality that is slightly different.
