Is that guy okay?
Nope. Storing all of Google street view in one human's brain takes a toll on you.
But seriously, if you haven't seen him before, the guy is nuts. He has to come up with challenges to make geoguesser difficult for himself now:

Grayjay isn't opening this up for me. What's the channel name of this guy?
If you just search for Rainbolt, you'll find his channel. I think he must have more than one, because this one was from "Rainbolt Two"
if this guy worked for the CIA every russian spy in existence would be dead within two weeks
Explain that
the CIA would give him photos from known russian spies and within the hour he would track their location to the exact spot.
He was in Moscow whenever this picture was taken. Thanks, very helpful
one step closer!
So he can track locations even if the shot is of someone sitting in a room in front of a white wall?
You say this, but people managed to find shia labeouf in a random location in tennessee from a picture of the sky.

I say what? What has your example to do with what I said?
Your question is asking if someone can be found by this guy even if there is minimal information about the location.
My example is one showing how even with very little information, someone can be found.
So i guess... it has everything to do with what you said.
I was questioning OP’s hysterical take that he could find Russian spies with his skills. If there’s a photo of someone somewhere you know is a spy, you don’t need a geo guesser anymore. I was just pointing out how idiotic his teenage thought process was.
Oh! I took it as a joke, but reading it back, i see it can be read both ways. If OP was being serious, then they need a reality check.
Not to diminish that geoguessers ability. Ive seen a bunch of his videos, and it is crazy how good he is at identifying things like architecture, roads, grass, trees, signs, electrical infrastructure, etc. If there was anything but a white wall behind the person they are trying to find, then this is the guy i would ask.
Google Earth is not a live feed
Did i say it was?
Does it need to be for the techniques the geoguesser uses to work?
No and... no...
You made the claim that he can tell the CIA were they can find Russian spies by using geoguessing. I’m saying that’s a very childish and subcomplex understanding of reality - probably because your cultural inclination to think of reality as part of the MCU.
No, i didn't, i said i thought the person that actually made that claim was joking. And that if they weren't, then they needed help.
I then said that despite this, the particular geoguesser is really talented and that if there were any clues and it wasn't just a white wall, then this is the guy i would bet on finding the location.
I didn't need to even say this again. it's all there in my previous post.
Maybe you have mixed me up with OP?
Oh Right sorry it wasn’t you, and yes they need help
directly in front of a white wall? Probably not, but even small clues like, a window to the outside can be beneficial.
No worries bro I was just pointing out how dumb your comment was
homie it started as a shitpost, and ended with you becoming a shitpost
Observe how the wall reflects sunlight : the paint gives off a blueish shine caused by a tiny amount of lead in it, around 3-5% -this is consistent with paints made in the URSS until 1985 and sold throughout central Asia. The paint strokes go in a NW-to-SE diagonal which indicates a preference of the painter for right-to-left script. We're in Tadjikistan.
That’s too dumb even for a Seagal movie, son
