Anything can go viral, it's just in this case it's a song.

It's not like this Ark music factory are like a proper record label or anything. I doubt they could exploit any of their 'talent' even if they wanted to.
They're just some small time business making music for kids to sing.
They didn't have anything to do with this going viral, it was just a lucky break for them because it seems everybody knows who they are now.
I would imagine they make the most of their money from the writing of the songs & making of the videos rather than actually selling any of their music.
I bet nobody could name another of their 'artists' without looking at their site.

Sorry but I don't see how allowing a kid to sing in a video is morally objectionable just because there's a one in several billion chances of it going viral.

In the eyes of some people child performers are always a bad thing because when they become an adult they will suffer psychological problems that's the new train of thought nowadays.

It's actually called the Drew Barrymore Syndrome. They think it will screw up a kid's life forever if they perform and they will most out on their childhood.
