The viewers of the video share pieces of the video over p2p (WebTorrent), you could have 10,000 people looking at a video and you wouldn't use any more bandwidth than if one person was watching it.
I really don't think you fully understand how this works. You say you can do the same thing for $1000, but you really can't, because even at $1000 you don't have enough resources to handle massively popular video views - unless you had a super amazing load balancer and gigabit connections.
