A nine-year-old’s dream of becoming a YouTube star may well have cost his father his livelihood after the young boy used a company credit card to pay for ads on the video-sharing platform. Unfortunately for the father, his son got more than a little spend-happy, racking up over $100k in charges, resulting in his father’s company confronting him over the misspent money.
If you’ve heard of the Roblox YouTube channel, “Mighty Mike Plays,” it’s likely thanks to the extensive campaign, which saw the 9-year-old boy’s videos play as ads before many YouTube videos. What you may not have known at the time was that the ad campaign was being run by a nine-year-old child who had gotten hold of his father’s company credit card.
