I see more and more apps and services requiring a selfie to proceed.

What are our privacy minded people doing when they want to use a service but not provide the selfie?

    I have not used a service with this requirement, and will refuse to at any point. Self hosting, open source, offline.

      Many online services derive value from the critical mass of users they home. This plus financial apps would include virtually all instances where facial images are required for security purposes. Self-hosting cannot solve this problem for you, you are effectively saying you will refrain from using these social and financial services at all.
