Popular online personality Clavicular, known for his looksmaxxing content, says YouTube removed two of his channels without any prior notice.
People who followed Braden Peters, who goes by ‘Clavicular’ online, were surprised and puzzled on the evening of April 22, 2026, when his YouTube channels disappeared.
According to Bloomberg, YouTube has removed two channels linked to him. They had previously taken down his content in November 2025, explaining that his videos directed viewers to websites selling prohibited or illegal items.
The 20-year-old content creator publicly addressed the upsetting news on X (formerly Twitter), explaining that his online channels had been completely deleted without any notice or reason.
Clavicular pleads with YouTube to reinstate his terminated channels
Clav explained that his videos didn’t violate any platform rules, stating they were simply “free courses I made to help young men improve themselves.”
My team and I worked diligently to comply with YouTube’s Terms of Service, carefully blurring out any offensive language or sensitive content. We are requesting your help with restoring my accounts.
I woke up to some really upsetting news today. My YouTube channels, @LiveWithClav and @ClavLooksmax, were suddenly terminated without any warning or explanation. I put a lot of work into those channels, creating livestream recordings and free courses all aimed at helping young men improve their lives and become the best they could be. It’s just really frustrating and disheartening to see them gone like that.

Clavicular gained popularity online in recent months. His rise to fame began in February 2026 on the livestreaming platform Kick, and short clips from his streams quickly spread to X.
He mainly creates content about ‘looksmaxxing,’ which is the practice of intensely focusing on improving how someone looks.
His controversial techniques have been noticed by major news sources, including 60 Minutes. They interviewed him in April, but he ended the conversation before it concluded.
He was recently banned from YouTube following an incident on April 14th where he reportedly overdosed during a live stream from a nightclub. Despite being hospitalized, he resumed streaming the next day and stated he would stop using drugs.
I need to explore some different options. I can either practice creating content without using substances, or I should look into a completely new type of content altogether.
