Born November 7, 1998, Rainbolt built his following on TikTok by shrinking the margins: he'd glance at an image and pinpoint a location with unsettling speed and accuracy, often under self-imposed constraints that made the task harder. The videos worked because they looked like a party trick and felt like witchcraft. He expanded to YouTube, where he posts longer gameplay and geography explainers. The game stayed the same - you see a random street view, you guess where it is - but he made speed and difficulty the point, and the internet couldn't look away.
