Clavicular’s YouTube Channels Pulled Offline (Again)

YouTube has taken down two channels by the controversial “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular. The streamer, whose real name is Braden Peters, took to social media on Thursday seeking help to recover his accounts.

“Very sad news this morning,” Peters wrote on X. “My YouTube channels @ LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning with no warning or explanation. The channels consisted of livestream VODs and free courses created by me to help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves. Me and my team worked hard to ensure we followed YouTube’s TOS very strictly, blurring out all inapproriate language and sensitive topics.” Before ending his message, he tagged YouTube’s X accounts and asked, “Could you please help in recovering my accounts?”

Despite Peters’s claims that the video platform did not give him an explanation for pulling his channels offline, he shared what appeared to be screenshots of emails from YouTube. “We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines. Because of this, we have removed your channel from YouTube,” the emails read.

A YouTube spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that after terminating Peters’ original channel back in November 2025 for “facilitating access to websites that violate our Illegal or regulated goods or services policies,” the platform “removed these additional channels under our terms of service, which prohibit creating new channels after a termination.”

Last week, Peters was hospitalized for a suspected overdose. “Just got home, that was brutal,” Peters wrote on X the next day. “All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”
