YouTube Hat (+ other perks for youtubers)

I think it'd be a cool addition to add a YouTube hat (like you wear the play button on your head).
Cubic Castles YouTubers would get it at a certain amount of subs (100 or however many the Devs decide)
YouTubers help promote the game and I think it'd be a good way to get more people making a channel and a cool reward for those who have channels.
Edit: new suggestions by CGB. YouTube Flag (received at 500 subs) and YouTube Tag (like mod or admin) received at 1k subs. To stop the sub botters from getting these rewards, they could make it so each video has to have at least 100 views

The idea is good but I just think too many people would complain
Also what defines a CC youtuber? Would their whole channel dedicated to Cubic Castles?
3 major issues that occured.
1) people were selling them for excessive amounts.
2) people were buying sub bots and getting the hat that way to sell in game for profit.
3) commuunity complained about exclusive hats like this being in the game.
The reward for gaining subscribers would have to be the subscribers, you build a community. That is WAY better than a hat/item.
But even the official CC YouTube channel has less than 100 subs at best.
a) put in a lot of work in your editing, make good content and upload frequently
b) spam giveaway in hollas for subscribers *cough* Deian_Hitty *cough*
And, get into 100subs is very easy, I'm not trying to be rude,but.. if u make trash or stupid videos there is no way u can increase ur subs.
What u need to do is something useful, funny, tips&tricks, etc. So u will get more views and new subcribers everytime.
So this suggestion is a Nah, I'm sorry. I can get 100subs within 2months or something tho. Good point, players always do subscribers giveaway, which make it even more easier to get subs, what stupid is, those players only care about the giveaway, even they subscribed u, they don't care about your videos or channel at all. If you want to get Real Fans, don't do giveaway or force peoples to subs u when they don't want to, unless when u reached certain subs and do small giveaway(without forcing them)
If they made it so the youtubers couldn't sell or trade for it then +1
Literally the community complains when a group of people have something that they can't have. It's just annoying.
For mods they just have their tag, but maybe for youtubers, like /showflag /hideflag
Youtubers who get 500 subs get a YT flag in place of their current flag...
EDIT: May like this (but obviously not their logo cause law suits. But this is just an example of what it could look like.
Or maybe a Youtuber tag. Like Mod, Admin, and Beta.
And maybe Youtubers can have like. /recloak (show YT tag) and then they can /cloak like 3 times a day, like beta rank could.
Not sure about the name tag like mod/admin, I think a flag is enough imo
Some other stuff I thought of that might encourage content creators:
1) Forums Content Creator role (no special color)
2) Content Creator kit... like the fankit but exclusive for content creators, like tease screenshots, videos, sneak peeks...
3) Sneak peek/video features in Cubic Castles NEWS tab
4) Content Creator Sponsored Cubits for videos- creators can submit their giveaway/event idea and request for a sponsor and admins can review them [not sure about this one considering the time crunch]
5) Twitter page retweeting videos
6) Youtube plaque item in-game (not sure about this one considering what happened with the press hat, maybe make it untradeable)
7) Content Creators Category in the forums, where only they can post their video threads there (not sure about this one either, will take some time to make)
8) Give them early access to items (eg. if there's a banana costume coming into the game, the content creators can have the item earlier for free.) Probably not this one because of previous press hat issues

-not tradable or marketable
