I don't think there's anything weird about that at all.

But suppose you did want to publish your content. For instance I make videos about tech and programming that I enjoy sharing with others and getting feedback on, so I post them on YouTube. Some people like to do that with their selfies or political commentary. To me that's all fine as long as they understand that it's no longer private.

The bigger privacy violations, imo, are the hidden ones. The web trackers, IoT data collection, location services, conversation metadata, etc. These are situations where it's not "public" like YouTube or Twitter, but it sure isn't private either.
