The looksmaxxing influencer Braden “Clavicular” Peters made a post on X claiming that YouTube had terminated his two channels without reason. Here’s everything we know about the situation.

Clavicular is known for his over-the-top and high-energy Kick streams, which bring in a significant number of viewers. The creator has also started doing gambling streams, but it remains to be seen whether he can make it into the top casino streamers list. Clavicular’s stunts have led to him getting banned on Kick, which is his primary streaming platform, and now YouTube has apparently taken action against the content creator.

YouTube took down two of Clavicular’s channels

Google’s streaming platform removed LiveWithClav and ClavLooksmax on April 24, and Clavicular claims there was no warning or reasons provided. Clavicular stated that channels included a livestream archive and free courses, and he was ensuring that no rules were broken, indicating that he believes YouTube have taken unfair actions.

Initial reports suggested that the channels may have been banned and not removed. However, Clavicular claimed that both of his channels were terminated, and fans immediately started to speculate about the reasons. Some questioned whether Clavicular had violated YouTube’s rules, but there was no definitive answer. That has changed, and new information confirms that YouTube did remove Clavicular’s channels and the reason behind this severe move.

YouTube has reportedly confirmed that Clavicular’s main channel was terminated in 2025, apparently for violating policies on illegal or regulated goods or services. YouTube bars a creator from making a new channel after being terminated from the platform. Thus, these two new channels were in violation of the Google streaming platform’s policies and were terminated because Clavicular was attempting circumvention/ban evasion.

Some reports also suggest that YouTube didn’t take action against the channels when they were first created, as it was unclear that Clavicular was running them. YouTube seemingly later identified that the channels were being run by Clavicular and conducted an investigation. Clavicular’s channels were terminated after YouTube did its due diligence, likely to ensure ownership of the channels. Reports also indicate that YouTube knows about Clavicular’s growing presence on streaming platforms and will apparently be keeping a closer eye on the streamer.

Meanwhile, X has started to push streamers to join the social media platform, and the platform’s Head of Product, Nikita Bier, replied to Clavicular, which fans took as an invitation. While it’s unlikely Clavicular will leave Kick, it remains to be seen if the streamer could instead multistream on X.
