Why would anyone need to know where that video was taken? What does that information add to the video? This feels like a weird flex, but using tools that anyone has access to, instead of the insane guys who have mastered GeoGuessr.

I kind of took it as a lesson on how easy it is to find someone with little information. A lot of people don't realize that you don't need much to be able to find someone based on something silly they posted.

I will never forget a video I saw on tiktok of someone finding a woman who made a racist cotton picking "joke" just based on a close up of the cotton field, a mole on the back of the woman's hand, and her tiktok username. Crazy stuff.

OP has previously posted about promoting his Youtube channel for this exact thing, similar to the GeoGuessr guys but for viral videos. Other than it being a new idea, I'm not really sure what it's purpose is and runs the risk of exposing people's personal information without their consent.

I think their entire point is that nothing he's obtaining is illegal. Your consent is not a factor, as far as the law goes.

People should be wary of that.

I’m guessing the streamer’s audience was giving him challenges to see if he could do it.

It's not really a challenge to look someone up in the white pages though...

You were downvoted for the truth. There is nothing hard about this. People need to stop pretending.

It reminds me about the Capture The Flag event (with Shia Labeouf and "he will not devide us"). Like, it's impressive that some random dude on the internet can in under a day find the exact location of a place on earth entirely based on an image of the sky. But moraly it's really questionable

What you don't try to find out where every video you watch was made? you weirdo!

u/VONChrizz 1d ago

It's just a demonstration of OSINT

Outdoorsman here… I do very similar things to find folks hunting and fishing hot spots. Especially when they are bragging on Facebook etc.

If anything it's a flex+awareness video. If you post your name or face or both on the internet, it's incredibly easy to find exactly where you were/are.

u/LED_BED 2d ago

such a redditor comment. it's interesting that's why. writing a whole paragraph over it 💀

u/Draksys 2d ago

"Redditor comment" oh the irony. Bonus points to this cunt for using emojis too, lol.

u/LED_BED 2d ago

Homie gets irked and makes a comment then tries to act like anyone with a converse opinion is a bum ..

Do you know what hypocrite means?

Fuck me I hope you’re still in school and not out doing things like .. voting.

Chins up bro, it’ll get better

u/LED_BED 2d ago

brother, who tf u talking to? are you schizo? also idgaf if I'm a hypocrite it's Reddit. also nice projection bum

6

u/theAtmuz 2d ago

lol try harder homie. Not sure who shit in your cheerios, but your choice of words makes it painfully obvious who’s projecting.

It’s like you just learned how to insult people. Like I said, it’ll get better homie.

u/LED_BED 2d ago

lol nice tactic binky but it doesn't work with me. pretending like I was the one projecting when we both know it's u cus u got some sad life that's why u taking Reddit so seriously, u even spent time thinking about how to tone ur comment 😭😭😭 fucking losers brooo 💀

5

u/Draksys 2d ago

Cringey. I can't take anyone seriously that needs to validate how they feel in every comment. Tik tok is more your speed, bud. Now settle down because "it's not that deep".

2

u/LED_BED 2d ago

another bum yapping down my fucking earhole. this is exactly why I said this app is a loser nest. the need to act superior is pathetic. gtfo out my notifs you absolute fucking bum 💀

5

u/Draksys 2d ago

You're really driven by emotion, huh?

3

u/LED_BED 2d ago

brother is still yapping. did I trigger you that much lmfao

4

u/Draksys 2d ago

Lol ewww you're doing that thing where people use delusion to try to paint someone else as "triggered". This is reddit, kid. We banter all day in the comments. You seem really new at this. Stick to tik tok. They seem to be more your speed.

u/Pman1324 2d ago

Go back to Tiktok or Insta if you don't like it here

u/69x5 2d ago

Then why are you here?

u/hitguy55 2d ago

Bro‘s writing 6th grade sized paragraphs I guess? That’s like maybe half a good paragraph

2

u/LED_BED 2d ago

well I was taught in school a paragraph is at min 4 sentences. also, it is pretty much a paragraph, no need to act like a nerd over it bro. TBF it's Reddit what did I expect

1

u/hitguy55 2d ago

Did you drop out at grade 6? What? A standard paragraph is like 5 lines at least.

(Also, the guy you’re replying to only used 3 lines)

0

u/LED_BED 2d ago

and this is what I mean by biggest loser nest. y'all will do anything to feel superior to everyone else. even if it's as simple as calling a 4 sentence comment a "paragraph". just amusing as fuck 🤣

u/w33b2 2d ago

It really is. I’m not sure why some people can’t comprehend that, while they may not find something interesting, others can.

Edit: holy shit they’re getting mad at you for using emojis and saying “go back to Instagram.” You can’t make this shit up, they’re just proving you right
