==Channels==
Nate has two main channels; his original and primary channel (currently Give Heart Records, previously NateWantsToBattle) and a secondary channel (currently NateWantsToBattle, previously NateWantsToBattleGames). He also has a third channel called NateTCG, where he hosts videos which feature opening Pokémon card packs. 
The primary Give Heart Records channel was renamed to feature other artists on the label, but is still used for Nate's music videos. The secondary channel is now used for other content, but it still houses older gaming content from before it was repurposed.
He also had a collab channel with Dookieshed called NateandDookie. They used to upload every day, but as of January 2018, they have discontinued this channel. 
Nate is friends with Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, MatPat, and the Game Grumps.
===2022 Hack and Deletion===
On June 9, 2022, the channel was hacked by Ethereum, a cryptocurrency company founded by Vitalik Buterin. All the videos were set to private and a constant livestream promoting cryptocurrency was made the only available video. Though Nate attempted to get the channel back with help from YouTube, due to the hack the channel was deleted. 
Nate began working with YouTube to get the channel restored. Though there were initial problems, the channel was officially recovered on June 19, 2022. Nate tweeted that restoration was successful, and that they were slowly working to undo the damage the hackers had caused, such as changing the pictures and making the videos public again.
Nate was able to fully regain control of his channel again and everything has been restored.
