> The charming bloke that dominates GeoGuessr
Not really. He is a good player, but not in the same league as the top players, which is something he readily admits. He isn’t interested in learning the minutiae (bollard styles in different countries etc.) necessary to get to that level.
People watch him because of his personality and sense of humour. His most popular videos aren’t even GeoGuessr related at all!

- HL33tibCe7 4y agoThe headline is lazy and wrong regardless of the subsequent content
- aksjdhmkjasdof 4y agoRight, he doesn't actually dominate Geoguessr as a game, there are hundreds or maybe even thousands of people who could beat him in the competitive mode or in eg some no moving competition. Personally I'm in the top few hundred in the world and I do think I could beat him handily--I just have memorized enough bullshit about utility poles and the Google car in different countries and so on that he hasn't. But he does dominate Geoguessr social media content (along with rainbolt who has really blown up on TikTok). And I think Tom is pretty widely liked in the community. He's honest about his skills, his videos are fun, and he brought a bunch of today's top players into the game in the first place.
