Several years ago I found myself spent my time on various streaming services. I watched how people looked for its 5 minutes of fame. I saw how people founded each other for love, for friendship, for troll battles and etc. And I thought about one place for all of these streams. And one day I did it. It was LiveOMG.com. Now I almost forgot what it looks like an ordinary TV program, excluding sport.
