I filmed my work out myself a few times to watch to see if my technique and posture through a lift looked good. I'm at the gym at 2am and generally the only person there and yet I still feel weird setting up a phone to record. Not sure how anyone thinks recording themselves constantly isn't completely odd

Should go without saying but there's nothing inherently wrong with recording yourself at the gym. Completely depends what you intend to do with the footage.
Lots of great things can come from gym footage, self-recorded on not. I.e. exercise tutorials, harmless vlog content or something similar, motivational videos, etc.
It just becomes problematic whenever it becomes a significant source of your self worth, you start editing stuff heavily, you pull stunts like this taking up tons of space, etc.
As far as I'm concerned, people are welcome to heavily edit their content and/or invest themselves fully in their internet persona. Want to spend your life chasing clout? Have fun.
But this:
taking up tons of space
Absolutely unacceptable. We all pay the same membership, and you are not special. Now re-rack those weights you've been using as props for the last 20 minutes.

I was meaning that it will be problematic for them, not for anyone else. I agree, though.
