In modern times, companies have used April Fools’ Day as an opportunity to play pranks and get attention. In 2014, the US-based media company called NPR published an article called “Why Doesn’t America Read Anymore?” In the article, they instructed all the readers to like the post but not comment on it. Everyone sat back and had a laugh as people started commenting to share their opinions on an article that they hadn’t even read.


在現代,許多公司都利用愚人節作為惡作劇和獲得關注的機會。2014 年,總部位於美國的媒體公司 NPR 發表了一篇名為《美國為什麼不再讀書?》的文章。在文章中,他們指示所有讀者點讚文章,但不要發表評論。當人們開始對一篇他們甚至沒有讀過的文章進行評論分享看法時,每個人都放鬆地笑了。
