YouTube Bans Clavicular’s Channels for Repeated Policy Violations After Second Termination

YouTube has permanently removed the channels of Braden 'Clavicular' Peters, a prominent streamer and influencer in the looksmaxxing community, for a second time. The termination occurred on Thursday, April 23, 2026, with Peters sharing the news in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

In his statement, Peters revealed that both his channels—@LiveWithClav and @ClavLooksmax—were deactivated without prior warning or explanation. He described the channels as platforms for livestream VODs and free educational content aimed at helping young men improve themselves.

"Very sad news this morning. 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."

Accompanying his post was a screenshot of the termination notice sent by YouTube, which stated:

"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."

YouTube later confirmed to media outlets that the termination was part of an ongoing enforcement action following Peters’ original removal from the platform in November 2025. A spokesperson for YouTube explained:

"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."

Peters responded by asserting that he and his team had strictly adhered to YouTube’s Terms of Service, including blurring inappropriate language and sensitive topics. He pleaded for assistance in recovering his accounts, stating:

"Me and my team worked hard to ensure we followed YouTube’s TOS very strictly, blurring out all inappropriate language and sensitive topics. Could you please help in recovering my accounts?"

Peters’ recent history includes a highly publicized incident on April 14, 2026, where he suffered a drug overdose while livestreaming, drawing significant attention to his content and personal struggles.
