YouTube terminated two channels belonging to Braden Eric Peters, the 20-year-old influencer known online as Clavicular, on Thursday morning, enforcing its policy against creators establishing new accounts after a prior ban. The channels, LiveWithClav and ClavLooksmax, featured livestream recordings and free courses aimed at helping young men improve themselves, according to Peters.

Peters announced the removals in a post on X, expressing disappointment and seeking assistance from fans. "Very sad news this morning.

Email notices from YouTube, which Peters shared, stated that the terminations resulted from "severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines."
