YouTube Removes Two Channels Linked to Streamer Clavicular
Two YouTube channels linked to online streamer Clavicular have been removed by the platform, adding to an ongoing issue between the creator and YouTube. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, had already lost his main channel in late 2025.
According to Variety, YouTube confirmed that the earlier ban was due to content connected to websites that broke rules related to illegal or regulated goods and services. The company also stated that once a creator is removed from the platform, they are not allowed to open or run new channels.
A spokesperson explained the decision, saying, “We terminated the creator’s original channel back in November 2025. We removed these additional channels under our terms of service, which prohibit creating new channels after a termination.”
Despite this rule, Peters continued to operate new accounts. These were later taken down as well after YouTube reviewed their content and found repeated violations of its guidelines. Notices shared by the creator showed that the platform flagged serious or ongoing issues, leading to the removals.
Clavicular reacted publicly on X, where he said the action came without warning. He wrote, “Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @ LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning with no warning or explanation.” He also said the content on those channels included recorded livestreams and material aimed at helping young men improve themselves.

He added, “The channels consisted of livestream VODs and free courses created by me to help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves.” In the same message, he asked YouTube to review the situation and consider restoring his accounts.
Peters is known online for being part of the “looksmaxxing” trend, which focuses on improving physical appearance. His content has built a following, especially among younger viewers.
The channel removals come during a difficult period for the 20-year-old. Reports say he was recently hospitalized in Miami after a suspected overdose during a livestream. He later shared his experience online.
He wrote, “Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution.” He also described the situation as intense and physically difficult.
Shortly before that incident, Peters appeared on 60 Minutes Australia but left the interview early after being asked about links to the incel community.
These events have brought more attention to both his online activity and personal life, as well as the rules platforms enforce on creators.
This situation highlights how strict YouTube’s policies can be, especially for creators who try to return after a ban. At the same time, it shows how quickly online influence can grow and also face challenges. There is also a bigger question about how platforms handle repeat violations and how creators respond to those limits. What do you think about YouTube removing his channels again?
