Expose VRC+ Status to Udon

I think it would be really useful to allow access to VRC+ status via USON. This could enable end users to grant additional benefits or perks to people who support VRChat Directly

What benefit would this have other than incentivizing people to pay for vrc+? The world creator isn't making any profit off people paying for vrc+, and to me, it feels like setting up the framework to further segregate users either by locking world features behind it, or even potentially working in reverse, and taking world features away from subscribers?

Zuxi (the creator of this feature request) mentioned how they plan on using this feature:
> grant additional benefits or perks to people who support VRChat Directly
I appreciate that world creators want to support VRChat this way! Without the support of users and creators, VRChat wouldn't exist. Ultimately, it's up to world creators how to use this feature.
World creators already have the ability to paywall features with the Creator Economy. From what I've seen, they do so responsibly, and it has allowed them to create more (and better) worlds. Though I remember hearing similar concerns when we first announced the CE.
By "taking world features away from subscribers", are you referring to VRChat+ subscribers, or to something else?

★ Klonoa ★ what fax has said is true i have some things in the works for subscribers directly that i would not implement with out it :)

I cant disagree that the platform needs money and im sure some people want to encourage it, but I still fear things like parts of worlds being locked behind such checks or even potentially entire worlds. Maybe even in reverse if someone is spiteful, restricting someone from parts of a world or the entire world if they were a subscriber.
Im not opposed to it if people are just going to do cosmetic things, but I've seen worlds already paywall things like media players, or even literal closet rooms. I don't want to further see things be gated behind stuff like vrc+ (again a world creator won't even benefit profit wise from this).
It makes me wonder what exactly youre trying to implement though?

★ Klonoa ★ This. What benefits do creators get from implementing this? I feel like this'll just be used for discrimination.

★ Klonoa ★ at the end of the day, if someone doesn't want to pay for something then they won't.
World creators are only going to implement these things if they think they are going to work and a lot of these world creators are part of the same community you're part of.
If you don't like going to worlds or spaces that require heavy monetization and you feel like you have no value buying it, then all you have to do is not pay for it.
If enough people agree with this perspective than those features and those worlds will not make money and the world creators will realize this.
This problem solves itself.

Ericbazinga as a world Creator, why would you implement something like this? And if the answer is that you wouldn't or that it would require a very specific circumstances, is it not possible that most world creators would also do the same?
I will say though, it is impressive how fast this feature got implemented compared to so many other features.
