Price is pretty good, surprisingly. Looks like they take RTMP in and output m3u8 (probably fmp4 behind the scenes). 2 second latency is also not bad.

Larger streamers on Twitch can get ~20k concurrent viewers. A long streaming day would be 10 hours. They would also be streaming from NA so using their example pricing suggests:

Input: $2/hour * 10 hours = $20

Output: $0.15 * 10 * 20,000 = $30k

A worst case scenario of $30,020/day of streaming. Still seems financially unviable. I guess Twitch can stay in business for now.

EDIT:
