YouTube has taken down multiple accounts linked to Braden Eric Peters, known online as Clavicular or Clav, as part of its latest enforcement action. The decision to remove the Clavicular YouTube channels follows months of controversy, legal issues and earlier platform bans.
The removals were reported in April 2026 and followed YouTube’s termination of his main channel in November 2025 for policy violations.
YouTube removed two additional channels linked to influencer Braden Eric Peters, citing ban circumvention after earlier policy violations. The action follows the termination of the previous account and reflects stricter enforcement against creators who attempt to return after being banned for violating platform rules.
YouTube removed the latest channels on April 22, 2026. The platform had previously taken action against Peters over content related to regulated or illegal goods and services.
The latest removals were linked to attempts to bypass earlier restrictions. YouTube’s policies prohibit users from creating new accounts to avoid enforcement actions, a rule increasingly applied to repeat offenders.
Bloomberg reported that the platform has intensified monitoring of such cases as part of broader efforts to maintain content standards.
Braden Eric Peters, born December 17, 2005, gained attention in 2025 through TikTok and Kick livestreams tied to “looksmaxxing,” a subculture focused on physical appearance enhancement.
His content attracted criticism for referencing risky practices such as extreme cosmetic procedures, steroid use and other potentially harmful behaviour.
Why did YouTube remove Clavicular’s channels?
YouTube removed the channels for policy violations and for circumventing bans. After an initial termination, creating or operating new accounts linked to the same individual violates platform rules, leading to further removals.

“Looksmaxxing” is an online trend focused on improving physical appearance. It is controversial because some content promotes extreme or risky methods, raising concerns about health and safety, as well as its influence on young audiences.
