Youtube Command
Description
Implement a .youtube or .yt command to get the top 5 results from YouTube with that search query.

Proposed Implementation
Use the Youtube API.
Would you like to implement this yourself?

I'm a bit afraid that it could be used in a LMGTFY way. That is, instead of linking a tutorial or an article, a person can just invoke that command with a query.
Hmm most sir-lancebot commands are locked to the bot channels, and a few others. As long as we don't allow this command within help contexts, I think we should be fine.
@HassanAbouelela That makes sense.
It's also important to set up some sort of rate limit. Besides the documented limits, Google also apparently has some undocumented rate limits, so you just have to be careful.

@decorator-factory I think we have a few other Lancebot commands that are similar such as the Wikipedia, and in-development StackOverflow command, but I think like @HassanAbouelela said, we should be fine as long as we limit its usage.
