I lost a lot of respect for Ted Talks when these guys were allowed to use theirs as an ad.

Was it actually a TED Talk or was it one of those TED X talks?

I checked before this comment and it is posted on the TED channel, not TED X.

I didn't get TED's appeal in general back when I used them to learn English. Way too short, it's over just as you get focused. Quickly found out "normal", 30+ minute podcasts worked better.
