I think you're overly optimistic about what's going on here and overlooks trolling. I don't know if the video was edited to not show the offending ones. But I'm pretty sure if this becomes a popular trend, you'd have to deal with more trolls than you'd like to.

Maybe you're right and there's some hidden potential behind all of this. But the cynic in me just imagines 4chan members drooling at the prospect of ruining a show with shocking images and videos.

True, and one of the first things I did on ChatRoulette was prank people with it - http://youtu.be/DKTPLTZa6d4

But if people were paying good money to be in such a system (for, say, a live gig).. maybe such shenanigans would be mitigated.
