Nichols started outdoors in 2015 and has about 14.9 million subscribers.
The creator said in the video that 12 million of these subscribers came only during the past 18 months, as its content collected more than 6.8 billion The views of the total.
“The huge size of fans trying to contact me, trying to take pictures with me, or just trying to go out and talk to me in public places can be a little overwhelmingly overwhelming.” “My wife and I, my wife, have real concerns about what this will do for our family if I continue to develop my YouTube channel at this pace. And the time to stop is before this problem comes out of control so that I cannot live a normal life.”
Nichols said there are other reasons for his decision to back down from his channel.
The creator said he wanted to spend more time with his children, including by helping his older son to develop YouTube in the open air channel, Outdoor Tom. He said he also wants to start helping others, although he did not specify how.
“I have spent a lot of time focusing on my family and developing my work. It is time to retreat and focus on helping others to change and I am excited to see where that takes me,” he said.
Nichols said there are still a lot of incomplete videos and some of the extremist campaigns that he planned. He said that if he decides to finish them or photograph them, he will publish videos on his channel “One Big Dump” at the end of the year.
