You don't need to end a talk with a written thanks. But acknowledging an audience can mean a lot - particularly if from communities typically left out of research.
If you're a minoritised scholar I recommend being brave and ending with contact information and/or promoting an aspect of your work.

PSA: Do not end your presentations this way. Leave your conclusion slide up instead of wiping their memories with this platitide.

I'm honored to share that I didn't post some nonsense to LinkedIn humble-bragging about something that isn't particularly noteworthy.

Seriously, a colleague and I are on the same committee. I think we're the ones left standing when the music stopped, but she made a long post on LinkedIn yesterday: "I’m honored to share that I have been selected…". It's had 100 reactions and 15 people saying congratulations and well deserved. Ugh 🤦🏻♂️

Cretaceous seas were inhabited by several Mosasaurus species, not all of them giants.
This is one of the medium-sized Mosasaurus, M. missouriensis, an exceptional specimen found in Alberta. Lizardfish bones were in its gut contents. The prey had been bitten into swallowable chunks. 🧪

I much prefer being around people who try to improve things, even if they ultimately aren't successful, rather than folks who assume nothing will ever change.

I have emailed them that I don't appreciate them adding extra workload on people and then use it for AI training/validation, and have asked them to stop. I have unsubscribed and added them as spammer.
Hilarious:
Is there a participation fee?
"No, there is no cost to you".
My time is valuable.

I received this email too, and promptly ignored it. If it looks like spam, and smells like spam…..
If it’s legit, they have gone about it very badly.
