Is anyone currently running a Sports streaming website?

I'm trying to understand VDS costs since I'm aware you need a lot of bandwidth to stream, however a lot of sites I look into use providers where the packages are: 1Gbps, 10Gbps and it stops at 50Gbps. Depending from the stream your hosting take from 800-4000 kbps in some cases that I've seen and assuming someone use 800kbps x 1250 viewers which would already hit the 1Gbps however even some smaller sites hit much higher numbers of a few k, on a singular stream, but most advertise with pop-up ads which don't pay insanely well. So my question is, how do they manage it factoring the extremely high cost of any VDS above 1Gbps

Good questions always wondered how the guys setting up these streaming sites make good revenue out of it - following

The following are the most common methods found.

1. Using third party streaming providers:
Using an affordable streaming provider like psb.li. under their pricing structure a 1080p stream costs you approximately 70CHF per year paid via PayPal. As PayPal often accepts prepaid debit or credit cards with minimal KYC a form of privacy is preserved without triggering the crypto payment flag. Then in case of a DMCA takedown you open a new account buy a new streaming plan and start again.

2. The do it yourself method:
Mostly it is a combination of discount vps hunting at providers like home.pl the key paired with self developed streaming and encoding software using ffmpeg for example. You receive quality infrastructure through a subsidiary of a premium hosting provider without KYC in a country like Poland with fewer regulations. Then you serve your streaming content under a cheap domain so you can switch from one to the next in case of DMCA take down notices while your server infrastructure is shielded under the "Free" plan from cloudflare utilising their proxy feature for DNS entries and the 2 hour caching setting for the .ts files to serve a large volume of viewers globally while staying within their limits and to prevent overloading the vps. If either a DMCA takedown event takes place or cloudflare bans the account then a new cheap domain is registered with a new cloudflare account and updated on the server and dns records for the new domain. Then is gradually upgraded to more powerful servers depending on income and demand.

How revenue models work:
Once you have the streaming and distribution infrastructure a top-level domain for the main site is used under a cloudflare account to shield the backend servers and providers. Through advertisements networks like adsterra, monetag and exoclick a revenue is generated or alternatively using an Ltd. in England with a proxy director and a stripe account or coinbase account to provide tier accounts without limits. Uk ltd.'s then must be closed and reopened whenever stripe blocks or freezes accounts. Stripe checkout pages are served by redirecting from the streaming site to a secondary website which is of basic layout and functionality to mimic a hosting provider, website builder or similar and is registered with stripe as the business website. Once redirected from the streaming website to the secondary website a user is directed further to a stripe checkout page requested from site 1 with an api call to site 2 which in turn registered the checkout with stripe and then serves it to the user intending to pay for streaming services. This complicated setup is necessary as stripe monitors referrers and similar key indicators.
