When you’ve accumulated as many YouTube subscriptions as I have over the years, it becomes necessary to organize them into categories to ensure content doesn’t lost in the swarm of new videos that get released everyday. This has always been easy to do thanks to YouTube’s “Collections” feature, which allows you to organize subscriptions into groups, but YouTube has announced that it will be killing this feature in a little over a week.

Keeping up on the content you enjoy through YouTube is easy to do by subscribing to the channels you watch the most, but if you use YouTube quite a bit you may have quite a few subscriptions which populate your channels. Collections was a way for users to group these subscriptions into categories which could keep similar channels under one tag or name, making it easier to find the lists of subscriptions you like to view at any given time. While the feature likely gets use from some people it appears it is either not getting enough use or Google may have something better in the works as they will be shutting down Collections near the end of May. According to the YouTube support page for Collections, Google will discontinue the feature on May 20th, 2o15 which gives people who are still actively using it just ten days left to get their use out of it before it disappears.
