Phrase used after you say something (generally a longer story) and no one responds, similar to how a ted talk works.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Celebrities like Kate McPherson have been known to end tweets with this statement. In some ways it's a full on acknowledgement of a personal idea or claim but a dismissal of anyone's negative response to the claim. In other words, I want you to know this information but I am not particularly concerned with your opinion regarding said information.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

Originally, this is what people used to say after giving a long, nonprofit speech or lecture devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of powerful talks given at the main TED (technology, entertainment and design) annual event or one of its many satellite events around the world.

By 2015, This phrase then got broken down and used whenever people finished typing up an extensively long social media post.

Then, after like, 2018, this phrase got even more deteriorated (mainly by Gen Z or Gen X trying to sound like Gen Z) to the point that people now say it after saying a sentence, or, even worse, a sentence fragment because they think they’re being funny.
