YouTube has terminated “Looksmaxxing” influencer and streamer Clavicular‘s two channels for “severe or repeated violations.”
The controversial creator, whose real name is Braden Peters, took to X on Thursday to ask his fans to help recover his @LiveWithClav and @ClavLooksmax accounts.
“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.”
The streamer continued, “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?”
Though Clavicular claims YouTube didn’t give him an explanation for the move, in the emails he received from the video platform, it clearly listed community guideline violations as the reason.
The platform also gave Clavicular the same explanation for removing both accounts. “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.
When The Hollywood Reporter reached out to YouTube for more information, a spokesperson explained that Clavicular’s original channel was terminated last year for “facilitating access to websites that violate our Illegal or regulated goods or services policies,” and that these were just additional accounts.
“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,” the YouTube spokesperson wrote in a statement to THR.
The platform prohibits creators from owning or creating new channels following a termination.
This came just over a week after Clavicular was hospitalized for a suspected overdose. He was livestreaming at a mall and restaurant in Miami on Kick when the incident happened.
He went home the following day and shared an update on X at the time: “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. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”
