I recently improved my php skills and realized how easy it would be to setup a streaming site for some kind of anime or cartoon etc. Just to make some sweet ad revenue.
Problem is, streaming takes quite some bandwidth and can be expensive in a large scale, in the worst case scenario i might even make loss instead of revenue.
So, besides the question in the title, I also wonder what kind of free video streaminh services there are I can upload that weebshit to, so I don't have to waste bandwidth of my own webserver and can simply copy paste the streaming url into my html.
Been thinking about using Google Drive for that. Toughts?

dont bother making one for the average user type person, there's already far too many out there with larger marketshare. Starting off is not something that's easily accomplished anymore in a world of startups and venture capitalists.
google drive is alright for storage, you can definitely get 500mbps off it but the problem isn't speed but io. They will throttle you for excessive api usage unless you're using jewgle servers. On the plus side if you're using google servers drive data isn't egress so the banwidth is free. The problem isn't large files it's scanning lots of large files, which often cases might not be an issue for you.
