Outdoor Boys YouTuber hit 12M subs in 18 months. Now he's calling it quits.
Briefly

Luke Nichols, the creator of the Outdoor Boys channel, is stepping away from YouTube despite gaining 12 million subscribers in 18 months. He cites the overwhelming attention and stress from constant public interactions as a concern for his family's well-being. With YouTube and other platforms generating 4 billion views for him and his wife combined, Nichols emphasizes the importance of family over profits. In an industry driven by visibility, his decision stands out as he seeks to manage the pressure and support his children's dreams.
"Because of people stealing my content and posting it on other platforms, my family and I have been viewed about 4 billion times, in addition to the 2.8 billion views on YouTube."
"My wife and I - we both have real concerns about what this will do to our family if I keep growing my YouTube channel at this pace."
