Track view count and subscriber count for YouTube banner #3283

Open dbelokon opened 2 years ago

dbelokon commented 2 years ago

In #3282 we have a YouTube banner that is displaying negative numbers for the subscriber and viewer count.

The reason for this is because the current back-end does not track this information.

I am not really sure what should be the way to solve it. We could write some code in the front-end that requests with the YouTube API the information we want, or have the back-end figure out to store this information and give it to the front-end.

A way I tried to implement it is by making a request to YouTube from the front-end and get the information I wanted. However, I ran into a CORS issue that I am not really sure how to fix. If anybody can help me out on that, I'll appreciate it a lot!

@dbelokon how's the progress?

TueeNguyen commented 2 years ago

We've decided that this issue is not in high priority, I took it out of 3.0 alpha.
