April Fools' joke or harsh reality?

Every web developer knows what the coveted letters of YAK mean, but probably not everyone has seen on the page of adding a site to the directory a small triangle with an exclamation mark, which draws attention to such news:

“From April 1, 2008, the cost of accelerated registration in the catalog becomes the same for all types of sites and will be 12,500 rubles. (without VAT). The cost of changing the description will remain the same - 4,500 rubles. (without VAT).

As before, all sites (non-revenue generating and commercial) required for representative content, according to the editors of Yandex, are added to the catalog for free. ”
