Can you attach a screenshot? I don't know if this is A/B testing or not, but I haven't experienced it yet.
Here's an example: left is YouTube app right is Ytm.
On YouTube, it's the lyrical video while on ytm all are replaced by official tracks:
Also there's this thread for reference : https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/thread/230836681/videos-of-songs-added-to-playlists-automatically-being-replaced-with-song-versions?hl=en
Update - this only happens if you have a premium subscription.
Application
YouTube Music
Issue
Ytm introduced a 'feature' that replaces videos users add to playlists with official songs where possible, patch request is to override this and keep the original video user adds, (like in the YouTube app)
Patch
Perhaps spoof the ytm playlists to think they are YouTube playlists because the replacements dont occur on YouTube
Motivation
Users should be able to listen to remixes or other variants of their favourite music within their playlists.
