The ones that are just silly, lighthearted stuff that are obviously April Fools' Day jokes don't really bother me so much.
The ones that are like "oh dear, some terrible thing has happened, and now we must shut down our website because of it, good bye" are the ones that can kiss my ass and go to hell, though, especially if whatever terrible thing their AFD joke was based on was all too plausible and believable, like, for instance, someone died, or they got a DMCA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act) takedown notice against them, or something like that. (Especially when they screw it up and post their lame attempt at an AFD joke on March 31 instead of April 1, which happened in at least one such case this year.) Some would say, well, that's what makes it a good AFD prank, but I say piss off to that.
But, generally speaking, no, I'm not a huge fan of the so-called holiday even under the best circumstances. ¬_¬
