I selected other, as I either embed copyright info etc into the image or the exif file.
So you could also answer “No” to “Do you watermark your pics?”

People who steal images on-line are not the same people who buy images. I used to have my name and website on every posted image. I had some low res images picked up on a reposting 'site that was kind of pyramid scheme, and 12 of my images received between 650,000 and 750,000 hits over 6 million all told, yet not a single nibble in terms of inquiries. I've pretty much decided it's not worth the effort.

he places with the strongest "gun control" laws in the U.S. are generally also the places with the highest rate of criminal homicides. If one person is determined to violate the law, then the law is no protection. And the function of law enforcement is not to protect anyone or anything ( the U.S. Sup. Ct. has repeatedly stated this in its opinions), but to identify crimes and apprehend the persons responsible AFTER a crime has been committed.
Political discussion is not allowed on this site. So, I'm not saying a thing, but you might want to alter your post to be about photography.

No I do, but it’s embedded and therefore kinda hidden.

I don't, but I don't sell images either.

I also don't upload full size images, for the most part -- mainly because my internet is way too slow to be bogged down with really big files. I will say that it can be annoying if you watermark your downsized images and then export a bunch of images for your own use and don't pay attention and a month later realize that all of those were watermarked too.
