CMV: I don't think I should care whether or not a DJ is "actually doing anything" on stage.

I see a lot of people complaining about how they don't think DJ's actually do anything on stage and then there are people who come in and explain that they do (some at least). 

I don't think I should care either way. I feel this way because when I'm going to a club, I'm not going for the same reason I go to see a band play. When I'm seeing a band, I'm going for them and to see them play their songs live. When I'm going to a club, I'm going to dance. Yes, the DJ is there to supply the music but I don't care how he does it because that's not what I'm there to see. If he wants to just hit play and let it go, then that's fine, I have no reason to care. 

So go ahead, CMV!

The DJ is a live performer.  The DJ is typically on a stage, centre stage, and raised on a platform for all to see. You are supposed to see the DJ working. If the DJ doesn't do anything, then there's no reason for showcasing the DJ. Take them off the stage. Hell... don't hire them at all and just get a CD player on shuffle and you'll get the same thing.  So, if you are supposed to see them, and they are the showcase talent of the evening, then they are expected to entertain. Pressing play does not make a stage show, and the DJ is on the stage putting on a show. As much as you don't want to care or don't seem to care, there *are* people who came to see the DJ spin his live cuts, just like you would see a live band.
