YouTube Terminates Two More Channels Belonging to Influencer Clavicular

YouTube has removed two channels operated by the "Looksmaxxing" influencer known as Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters. The 20-year-old announced the takedown on Twitter/X, revealing that his accounts @LiveWithClav and @ClavLooksmax were terminated without advance notice.

The channels featured livestream recordings and educational content, with Peters claiming he and his team maintained strict compliance with YouTube's community guidelines. "The channels consisted of livestream VODs and free courses created by me to help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves," he wrote. "Me and my team worked hard to ensure we followed YouTube's TOS very strictly, blurring out all inapproriate language and sensitive topics."

Peters appealed to YouTube's support accounts, requesting assistance in restoring the channels.

A YouTube spokesperson explained the removals to Variety, stating that the platform had terminated Peters' original channel in November 2025 and subsequently removed the two additional channels under its service terms. "We removed these additional channels under our terms of service, which prohibit creating new channels after a termination," the spokesperson said.

The original channel was shut down due to "facilitating access to websites that violate the platform's Illegal or regulated goods or services policies," according to Variety.

The removals come amid other recent challenges for the influencer. Peters overdosed during a livestream and was hospitalized, and his publicist dropped him last week.
