Dream Plugin - Subscriber Rewards

[PhaseClan]

Pretty simple layout, may not be as simple coding it.

I'm still unsure if this is possible

Anyways, on with the dream request. What if there was a plugin where when your player subscribed to your YouTube channel, they got rewarded ingame. With money, permissions, etc.

I assume that this could be abused, so it will most likely be used for permissions, and then if the user unsubscribed, they're permission would get removed.

I know it's possible to do this with Twitter, but I think it would be cool to have it with YouTube.

So do you think this is a good idea? Tell me below! ▼▼▼▼▼

IMO, terrible idea. Any developer you hire is going to need a decent understanding of HTTP requests. I found that going to http://youtube.com/subscribers shows a list of subscribers. The developer could parse this and get a list of people who have subscribed to your channel by their channel name. They are obviously going to have to be logged in for this and will have to cache and handle session cookies. In game you could have the user do '/youtube [name]' and you could check whether that user is in the list of users that are subscribed to you because I don't think you can view the subscribers of other people's channels meaning they can't exploit it. Anyway they could cache that data, store it somewhere; the usual. It would probably cost a fair amount ($100+) for such a simple, pointless feature used just to boost your subscriber count.
