I wonder if live coding could / should / will support similar "interactive fundraising" techniques as is common in game streaming. Some channels offer e.g. for $10 to manipulate some in-game item: Add an additional enemy, give the player a specific powerup, ...

I imagine for coding the equivalent could be "rename variable x to y" or "add comment //x on line y". There's a lot of potential for annoying / fun mischief, but that's what makes it entertaining and worth the $$$ for the viewers. Some might just want to actually help out!
