9-Year-Old Accidentally Spends $118,000 on YouTube Ads for Minecraft Channel
A 9-year-old boy running the YouTube channel 'Mighty Mike Plays' accidentally racked up $118,000 in YouTube advertising charges on his father's company credit card. The incident began as a small $20 promotion experiment to boost views on his Minecraft and Roblox videos, but quickly spiraled out of control when the child created his own campaigns, believing more money meant more views. The father, Dave, shared the story in a video titled 'Message from Dad...Mighty Mike Plays is Over,' after being called into a meeting with his employer's finance team.
