YouTube Shutdown And Deletes Videos In April Fools Prank

Be ready. On April 1, 2013, YouTube will be shutting down and will be picking the best YouTube video as a winner! The announcement was made by YouTube officials. The video-sharing site will be relaunched in 2023.

“We are so close to the end. Tonight at midnight, youtube.com will no longer be accepting entries. After eight amazing years, it is finally time to review everything that has been uploaded to our site and begin the process of selecting a winner,” said Tim Liston, named as “competition director.”

YouTube CEO Salar Kamangar said that “we started YouTube in 2005 as a contest with a simple goal: to find the best video in the world.”

“I encourage everybody to watch as many videos as possible before YouTube deletes everything tonight,” said Antoine Dodson.
