Interesting (if not thought-provoking) list, although I'd take exception to:
The watermark is either the sign of a newbie who doesn’t know any better or insecure photographers who simultaneously thinks their photos are better than they are and that everyone is out to steal them.
Or - its a marketing tool.
As one of those photographers who HAS had his images stolen and illegally used by others to make revenue for themselves - adding the watermark is not paranoia or delusions of greatness.
Yes, it sucks when someone steals your photo when they should have paid you for it. Send them an invoice.
Because everyone knows its possible to get blood from a stone, lol.
