"So, in truth ... I'm about to drop a little holiday truth bomb on everyone, all right? Are you ready for this one? If I never existed, if I'd never made a youtube video, if I'd never had any prominence on the internet, if I'd never bothered turning on a camera, pointing it at a tv and doing really stupid commentary, if I'd never made tens of thousands of videos, all right? Here's the truth. Tons of people never would've been youtubers, tons of content never would've been made, people wouldn't have been inspired to do what they did, and the world would be a very different place."
And the coup de grâce:
"If I never existed, a lot of positive things would've never happened on this planet, whether indirectly or directly as a result of my actions, my existence has actually prominently impacted the internet and life, quite frankly."

This alone was worth letting the Kino arc play out.
