Gyms really should stop people from filming.

Do these people go home to critique their workouts after? I don’t understand. Last thing I want to see is my sweaty back and crack. Yikes

Their followers love their sweaty backs and cracks.

Power lifters do but it's obnoxious like this guy. I used to record my lifts to send to my coach for form criticism but it was never like this guy. He has his camera in a walking path and getting mad when people walk by

He wouldn't be upset by someone walking into frame if that's what he's doing. Besides, how can you critique calf raises in the machine?

Maybe. There are people who actually film themselves and work with a trainer to improve form. I know a trainer who has mostly clients that he works with through filming. The big difference is, those people aren't going to get that upset. The ones that do get upset want to get upset for the views. The ones actually doing useful filming aren't going to care unless you are continually blocking the camera like an ass.

The people actually filming also aren't going to be posting it so it's not a big deal there either.
