April 1st on reddit is really about corporation's self-promotion

Ever think about the fact that all that is happening today, is that every single company makes a stupid April Fool's joke and all of us redditors give them all massive amounts of pageviews? It has turned from a fun prank day, into a 'everybody look at advertisements' day. Sorry, but every funny video, silly link, is just an excuse to get you to that company's website.

Wouldn't it be great if the front page was filled with actual April Fool's jokes that people are playing on eachother? I saw one video of somebody who pranked their dad, and that was the best thing I've seen all day.
