What I mean is let's say there's a live stream, and 1000 people are watching it simultaneously, and let's say each user has to download the video at 1 mb/s, does this mean that these services have internet upload speed of over 1 GB/s ?

Yes.
Of-course if the content is popular what will likely happen is it will be distributed/cached across multiple locations so that it can be distributed more efficiently.
Strictly speaking there can also be some varience in the download speeds of each client due to buffering so there is a very small amount of wiggle room with the consistency of the speed.
