Interesting that Nakamuras possible unpopularity with his peers is counterbalanced by being easily the most popular online chess personality.

There was a junior playing in the London League who is 1550 Fide / 140 ecf. His captain said he believes he is now 2100+.
I checked his Lichess ratings and they had basically gone from 1700 to 2300 at all time controls over 1 year.
