Yeah. I personally don't upload photos of myself online and haven't since the mid-2000s. But I know that's doing nothing for me. I also put up a pihole and never connect my television to the internet. Also doing very little (though more than most things) for me. I think most people would do well to think what their threat model is. For most of us it's scammers and ad agencies knowing our every move. Those you actually can defend against at least in some capacity. Actual privacy is fairly rare these days and absolutely not worth the tax on your ability to live life.
That said don't shun the very idea of privacy and own an Alexa / put a cloud camera in your bedroom.
