Will there be an opportunity to make a live broadcast? For example, as in Livepeer.
If there will be both video storage, and an output to a live broadcast - it will be a masterpiece.

Livestreaming is not in our near future goals, let's make the first part work very good, which is hosting pre-recorded videos.
As the technology progresses adding livestream might be an options, but that is for the developers to decide when that option is stable and reliable.
As you know livestreaming it's a bit troublesome even with centralised servers give that many places don't have enough bandwidth to support a good experience.
Also Livepeer positions itself as an infrastructure provider not as a video sharing platform.
Oh, I think your project is very good because it involve to media. Will have a big community to support you. But I'm afraid about your platform, can it enough to manage a huge digital data?
Currently the Alpha works on IPFS and that works well for now, of course if you look at the whitepaper https://view.ly/downloads/whitepaper.pdf you will notice that the end goal is using hosting nodes capable enough to do the work necessary ( resources and bandwidth ) and introduce them into a marketplace from where the uploaders can choose a hosting node of their preference at a minimal cost.
Everything looks fine, BUT. What if you don't earn enough money without advertising? What if subscribers can't pay a lot? The bulk of bloggers now receive money only through advertising ...

The way I see it is yes, a lot of content creators depend on the ad revenue but clearly that isn't enough because you also need ad placement for example ( introducing a product from a sponsor in your video ) to make at least a decent living.
Last I have read the average content creator makes about $1/1000 views if he is lucky and his video is not put side and demonitized because it's not "advertiser friendly"
In my personal optinion, if we take a good look an average of $1/1000 views is not a lot, if only 10 people would put $0.10 ( through likes, comments, sponsorships, patronage style, etc ) ( 0.10% ) said content creator would make at least the same amount as they would have adverts on.
