00:00YouTube is finally pushing back on the dangerous looks maxing community and their first target is
00:04the niche's infamous pioneer Clevacular. Most online have shown an increase in wanting Brandon
00:09Peters off the internet. The overall consensus? He's a cancer to young people. So for many the
00:14news that YouTube has completely terminated his account is seen as a major win but we see a major
00:18issue. Clevacular took to X this morning to plead his case writing my YouTube channels were terminated
00:23with no warnings or explanation. The channels consisted of live stream videos on demand and
00:28free courses created by me to help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves. He went
00:33on to claim that his team works strictly to follow YouTube's terms of service blurring out inappropriate
00:37language and sensitive topics. Clevacular's main channel was reportedly kicked off YouTube in 2025
00:43for promoting quote illegal or regulated goods and he's been playing a cat and mouse game with the
00:48algorithm ever since. With a YouTube rep telling Variety we remove these additional channels under
00:53our terms of service which prohibit creating new channels after termination. But here's the reality
00:58while YouTube is pushing back against the promotion of star maxing or smashing your face with a hammer
01:02to achieve a sharper jawline. Clevacular is currently reaching hundreds of thousands of followers on X and
01:08Kik. In fact as we speak he's once again live streaming on Kik specifically gambling like nothing is going on
01:14in the world. Despite a suspected overdose that landed him in a Miami hospital just two weeks ago and a
01:19viral incident where he was caught on camera being choked into unconsciousness his alternative platforms
01:24remain untouched. This highlights the massive disconnect in digital culture today. YouTube can
01:29delete the archives and the free courses but as long as his social media act as a bridge to his
01:33unfiltered Kik streams the ban is essentially just a change of scenery and the ban exposes the growing
01:38divide in the streaming wars. On one side you have YouTube a platform governed by advertisers and strict
01:44safety teams. While YouTube states their goal is to quote give everyone a voice and show them the world
01:49and they explicitly state we don't shy away from disagreement and debate. If you scroll down just a
01:55little bit further on that page you see the real priority. Brands rely on us to protect their business
02:00interest when they're advertising on YouTube alongside a link for creators to get familiar with their ad
02:06friendly guidelines. And that statement has led to a rise in critics claiming that for the world's
02:10biggest video platform protecting ad revenue has officially become more important than the openness
02:16they preach. And by pushing creators like Clavicular into the lawless quarters of the internet like
02:20Kik, YouTube isn't necessarily stopping the danger they're just making sure it's not their problem
02:25anymore. It's the same blueprint we saw with Aiden Ross who was scrubs for his alleged hateful content
02:30before moving a Kik on a reported $150 million deal. Was that Kik deal really worth $100 million?
02:35No. It's an equity-based deal but now I get paid based off partner income which is a great
02:41program by the way. Or Sneeko who was permanently banned back in 2022 for alleged misinformation but
02:46today both remain central figures in the manosphere. Frequently collaborating with Clavicular.
02:51The meth thing's a joke right by the way? Is the meth thing real? Yeah it's real. No it's not.
02:56It is.
02:56You do meth too. It's not real. And proving that while YouTube advertisers are rejecting this niche
03:01Kik is actively embracing it. That's because Kik was designed to be the ultimate anti-YouTube.
03:06A platform built on the foundation of quote looser moderation and a legendary 95-5 revenue split for
03:12its creators. Kik's mission is to be a creator-first unfiltered environment that prioritizes freedom
03:17of expression over the rigid advertiser-driven moderation of legacy platforms. But there's a
03:23reason Kik can't afford to ignore the traditional rules. Because Stake, the online gambling giant,
03:28is Kik's primary financial backer. Meaning they don't have to answer to the same corporations
03:33that YouTube does. Which leaves us with the real question. Will Clavicular actually pivot? Or is
03:39he just going to keep running it back until the next crash? From the looks of it, he isn't giving
03:43up
03:43just yet. He's currently on X pleading for help to get his channels back, claiming he's followed the
03:48rules strictly. But let us know your take and follow what's trending for more updates.
