He uses YouTube, likely signed in. That means he has a Google account. That means Google likely has his information. Any service he's signed with Google with has his information. So one of those companies sold his information. Could even be his phone provider.

    I don’t think he has an account there either. He needs help doing anything on his phone.

    If he's watching on his phone then he probably does. Android phones have a way of making you use an account when setting up the phone or using the app store and it would prompt him to sign in when he first loaded the app up. With a popup that all he had to do was click sign in on.
