Okay, whether or not YouTube will shut down or if it is only an April Fools prank is an unanswered question. YouTube may either shut down genuinely at midnight or make a public announcement that it is a joke. Neither has happened yet, so I wouldn't consider it a joke unless an official announcement is made.

Then, what would we do if neither happens (i.e. YouTube remains alive after midnight and no public announcement is made)? I guess YouTube expects/expected that the short "Happy April Fools" note at the bottom of the video description was enough to convince everybody that it is a joke. I do agree, though, that the joke is well-executed; you might wonder for how long these two people can put up with reading all the text when it's, after all, just a joke. And the fact that the viewing count for the live feed has dropped significantly since it started, is another sign that it is a joke. I'll be very surprised if I wake up tomorrow (I'm at Central European Time) and find out that they have either shut down YouTube or made a public announcement, but let's see. I'm not going to start an edit war, so I'll let it be as it is right now.
