One of YouTube’s most beloved outdoor creators just walked away from 15 million subscribers — but the story isn’t as simple as it sounds. In this episode of The Upload, we dive into why Luke Nichols, creator of Outdoor Boys, is quitting YouTube to protect his kids… and why his next move might surprise you.


Plus, we’re talking Kai Cenat’s ambitious (and possibly final?) Streamer University, Joe Rogan getting knocked out of the top podcast spot on YouTube, and the Sidemen making creator history with a Netflix nod.


It’s a stacked episode—press play and just into it!
