- iambateman 3y agoTry watching him on YouTube. He’s definitely on another level from other high level players.
- xmprt 3y agoI was under the impression that he's a high level player but far from the top of the leaderboard. Although he's currently the best GeoGuessr content creator and makes the most interesting videos in GeoGuessr adjacent topics such as finding locations from tweets and other viral videos.
- vintermann 3y agoGeowizard will always have my heart on those. It's true he's not as extremely good as the current leaderboard, but he's also good at these adjacent topics such as finding the location of historical photos, locating fan-submitted challenge selfies etc. And I mean, no one would come up with the scheme of crossing countries in a straight line without a pretty passionate love of geography.
- kaesar14 3y agoYou can watch him livestream some incredible shit. He's absolutely the real deal. Yes, he's big on social media, but every niche hobby like this has a standout who's great on media (Hikaru comes to mind for chess) that does great things for promoting the community.
- rgoulter 3y agoI think the majority of Hikaru's popularity comes from how dominant he is at chess, particularly faster time formats like blitz/bullet. Seems to me he still commonly demonstrates a level of sportsmanship such that the online chess "Sportsmanship Award" is named after him.
- kaesar14 3y agoOddly enough that os also what georainbolt is known for in the community!
- Breza 3y agoIt warms my heart whenever people are rewarded for being 1. Amazingly skilled at a thing, 2. Kind-hearted, and 3. Good at video production. No need for clickbait, outrage, trash talking, etc. Just quality content of someone doing something well and being nice about it.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoSurely if you don't hit, you can keep looking. Unless it's actually impossible for some reason.
- dylan604 3y agothislocationdoesnotexist.com seems like it'll be a thing created just to mess with these people. why? because someone can.
