No, I don't think this'll be a good idea. Maybe we can't allow us self to be pecky about who we can allow to DJ, but those who apply and whom gets accepted is integrated to the DJ society of LVP, which communicates with each about how to DJ, what's good and bad. It's something you go into and are responsible for.
If you just make it a money-thing and a VIP thing, it's suddenly a 'right' in that thought, that you have payed to decide over the music for X-hours/minutes. It's like making profit off of who controls the remote to the TV. I don't think we'll ever get a good nice radio out of people paying to control what THEY'D like to hear.
I also think it would be a bad idea if this interface would become the new norm or standard. It leaves out many options, of which I consider a must for a DJ. I don't think it'll be sufficient enough to produce a proper set, yet alone a talkshow.
But - it could be used for controlling the Auto-Dj, so that you, as a DJ, could prioritize which sorts of songs the Auto-DJ should play.
