Got duped by the active topics.

The humiliation.

Watermarking is helpful especially when an image is shared in the sea of the internet where misuse happens. And so when image shared is watermarked with logo or trademark or any other thing, it will be helpful as part of security.

I'm afraid that's not true anymore. It was back in 2000, but nowadays it's very easy to remove and it's really just a waste of time. If you need some images protected, don't share them online. The moment you post them online you need to accept that they can be stolen.

Yes, agree but if it is shared online than watermark can help in some situations.

Some of my competitors watermark publicly available generic product images they copied from someone else. It must provide them some sort of feeling of power.

Of course.
Snapping your fingers twice using your left hand while tossing some salt over your left shoulder with your right hand can help in some situations too.
In fact, just about anything could be said to help in some situations regarding images displayed online.
