Using OSINT and geolocation methods, I figure out where people's videos were recorded (when they ask me to do that)

It occurred to me that maybe I should introduce myself 🤪
You should follow me here if you want to hear what I have to say about all sorts of nerdy topics, but go subscribe to my YouTube channel if you're interested in watching my #geolocation videos!

I don't know if everyone knows this, but as a YouTube creator, when you are looking at people's comments on your videos, it will try to auto-suggest things you could say in reply. I assume these replies are AI-generated. They are often spot on, and frankly it's a bit unsettling.

I'm so glad I decided to add the guessing element to my failure compilation. I have learned where 3 of the 4 locations are, and my guesses weren't too bad! I'm pretty sure the last one is going to be WAY OFF though 😅
I'll make a follow-up video as soon as I can!

I posted a geolocation failure compilation today, and this time I decided to do something different: For each location, I'm taking a guess at where it might be, even though I don't know for sure. Once I learn the actual locations, I'm going to calculate a score based on how close / far off I was.

My YouTube Year in Review is convinced I’m a world traveler because I’m watch a lot of city walkthroughs, travel vlogs, etc. More often than not, I’m trying to learn to pronounce a city name or trying to verify what a location oooks like 😝
I felt that this award seemed appropriate, though!

One of my kids showed me this video of Simon Anthony solving a crazy Sudoku puzzle and his commentary is my favorite part. I love how excited / flabbergasted he is the entire time.
(Yes, I know the video is five years old. It's still amazing.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKf9...

My next geolocation video for "Airport Week" should be up around 3PM today in the One True Time Zone (i.e., eastern), so let's hope TikTok decides to show it on your fyp! 😅 (It will also be on YouTube, of course.)

So, I just kicked off an airport themed week in my geolocation series, and I was tickled to see that YouTube gave my first airport video one of those dynamic like buttons - it turned into a little airplane! ✈️
It pleases me immensely 😝

People have been asking me about the new YouTube "hype" feature and whether it helps me. Short answer: Yes, please do it.
If you want a slightly longer answer (including why it's kinda sus), I wrote up a brief explainer.
(FYI: This post is on my Patreon, but it's available for free.)

I had a dream last night where I realized it was a dream because of some detail that didn’t make sense, and when I woke up it occurred to me that I was out here debunking my dream like it was an AI video 😝
Guys, what if dreams are just AI slop? 🤔

I posted a new #geolocation video and in the first 30 minutes the engagement on YouTube is beating the hell out of my TikTok numbers -despite the fact that I have 1.9M followers on TikTok and fewer than 30K subs on YouTube.

Is it just me, or does Strands sound as if it’s being a bit insincere - sarcastic even? - with its opening remarks? 😅
