YouTube has pulled down two channels operated by Braden Peters, the “looskmaxxing” streamer who is known online as Clavicular.
In November 2025, YouTube had terminated Clavicular’s original channel for facilitating access to websites that violate the platform’s Illegal or regulated goods or services policies, according to a YouTube spokesperson. YouTube’s terms of service prohibit creators from creating or owning new channels after a termination.
“We terminated the creator’s original channel back in November 2025,” a YouTube rep told Variety. “We removed these additional channels under our terms of service, which prohibit creating new channels after a termination.”
Clavicular posted Thursday on X about the YouTube channel removals. “Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @ LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning with no warning or explanation,” he wrote. “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 [sic] language and sensitive topics. Could you please help in recovering my accounts?” His post tagged @TeamYouTube, @YouTubeCreators and @YouTube.
Images that Clavicular posted of notices he received from YouTube about the channel removals said, “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.”
Clavicular is a prominent face of the “looksmaxxing” movement, which has been defined an “online self-improvement practice focused on the process of maximizing one’s own physical attractiveness.”
Last week, the 20-year-old Peters was reportedly hospitalized in Miami after he is believed to have suffered an overdose during a livestream. “Just got home, that was brutal,” he wrote in an April 15 post on X. “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.”
That came just days after the influencer walked off an interview with “60 Minutes Australia” when he was asked if he identifies with the incel community.
