Streaming video to millions of people isn't just something anyone could whip up and run. It requires an ungodly amount of infrastructure and the only reason twitch and YouTube can keep going is because Amazon and Google own millions of servers world wide
you use bittorrent. peertube can do this already and while I'm unsure about what already existing tech you can use for streaming it can't be that complicated
It literally is though
You don't know half of it. It's incredibly costly, takes up a shitload of infrastructure and cannot be improvised by just trying to "torrent it"
