Pro Tip: Better order The YouTube Collection, before they delete every video
Well, YouTube has done it again. Every year Google throws in April Fools Day jokes for some of their most popular products including Gmail, and YouTube. This year you can order the YouTube Collection, an entire library of YouTube videos offline and available anytime, anywhere.

Wow, $254,969 dollars! What a BARGAIN! I ordered this and will be waiting to begin watching the videos in June 2045! I’m looking forward to it! So what do you think of this new YouTube service? I personally think this is the best idea since Gmail Blue! What do you think? Are you going to order your own set? Let me know in the comments below!
