Not necessarily intentionally, and not necessarily first. They may have uploaded the right video first, comments accumulated, then had to make an edit or change, then incidentally uploaded the wrong video when a technician misclicked. There are plenty of banal explanations with no need to resort to superfluous conspiratorial conjecture.
If that was the case, would they not just put the correct video back instead of taking it down altogether and uploading the correct one separately? I don't know if you actually can replace the video file on a youtube upload. I know there are some limited editing tools that can be used to cut a segment oit, but that wouldn't explain this
Isn’t it pretty much established fact at this point that a large proportion of comments online are now from bots? Maybe this explanation isn’t ‘banal’ but that doesn’t make it farther from the edge of occam’s razor than the other options you’re proposing.

Where is the “actual video” exactly?

Maybe people are upset at an obviously phony title and description. The fact that the video doesn’t exist just makes it that much more phony.
