Having to run your own server massively cuts down on the number of people who will stream.

Agreed but how's zap.stream working out for people?
That's exactly the point of the OP. There should be more than one server running it.
Yes and just like "not everyone should run a node" - not everyone should run a streaming server 😉
There is other solutions for self-hosting a stream. This is noderunner level stuff.
