It’s a newer type of phrase/way to start a sentence. It’s kind of like a way to call attention to or put extra emphasis on the action taking place.
For example, say I got to an ice cream store and try 10 flavors. I could say “not me trying every flavor before getting a single scoop.”
It kinda adds a sarcastic or lightheated feel to the sentence.

Ahhhh thanks for the explanation!
I like your ice cream example, but I’m going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

I’m a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.
