I clicked on my friend's channel ads because I thought this would help him

Post Body

So, my friend's channel got monetized 3 days ago. To help him, I opened one of his videos, clicked on the two skippable ads, and then proceeded to click on like 6 or 7 infeed YouTube ads. I did this 3 days ago, 2 days ago, yesterday, and also today. I've just found out that this actually hurts him and stopped doing it. He told me he also clicked on his own ads twice, but not more than this. This happened on a video with less than 1,000 views.

Is there any chance this is enough for him to be demonetized for invalid traffic? Will this just get completely overlooked by AdSense considering that it came from just one person and for a short period? Sorry if I sound dumb, I'm just really worried that I may have permanently hurt him.
