===Accusations of cheating in GeoGuessr===

These maps were used in some videos of his that went viral.
Alvacerod quickly began receiving backlash across his social media accounts, with his recent videos receiving dislikes and many negative comments. This prompted Rainbolt to unlist his video only hours after it was uploaded.Community post by RAINBOLT: "hi! i have removed the video i posted on exposing the geoguessr pro for cheating. it was only ever my intention to bring awareness to the integrity of geoguessr and how we can stop people from doing things like this in the future. & with the video getting 250,000 views in 7 hours i feel it has done that purpose. the creator was getting tons of public backlash and i never want to be the guy that is the reason for that. i hope he has clearly learned from this and we can move on and continue to thrive in a cheater free community ◡̈ road to 0.1s champion later this week 🫡" 11 Apr 2023
