Why don't you copy right your works?
Why don't you water mark your photos?
Why do you post your hard work for free, making it easy for others to take credit for it and use it as they pIease?
Why do peopIe compIain when someone uses their non water marked works that they have not copy righted, even though they had the chance to do so?

Simple, I take photos nobody would ever want.

I only publish in relatively small size, so the photos aren't really useful for anything serious. I don't think of photography as work, it's my hobby, and I could never make money out of it around here anyway. Also I shoot most of my serious stuff on film, which means I can always produce the originals for proof if I see the need to dispute.
>that they have not copy righted
I don't know about the legislation in your shithole of a country, but around here copyright is a natural attribute of the photo which is established the moment it is created. Your photos are ALWAYS copyrighted to you unless you specifically state that you forfeit that right in publishing terms, as in declaring them public domain. This is why I never develop rolls I get along with used cameras, because the photos are still copyrighted to whoever originally took them, and even them forfeiting the camera and the roll inside it does not invalidate this.

the day someone steals my photos to get money out of them in their stock photo websites is the day i literally kill myself and then sell all my cameras.
anyone who has had to deal with such stuff should be aware that they are generic snapshitters and the blandest fuckers ever.

I don't watermark because that shit is so easy to photoshop out.
It makes it much more worth your while to have your name as the "author" in every file, and never to upload large or full size images to the web. Also never fall into the trap of submitting photos to some place like a news agency unless they offer pay, if that matters to you. I'm seeing this increasing trend of news pages and individual anchor/weatherman pages on Facebook accepting photo submissions for their free journ...err excuse me, to "give the photographers exposure".

Wish I could help but unfortunately I cannot.

My own two cameras are a Samsung Galaxy S6, and a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80.
If someone used my photos for their own personal profit, I would be kind of mad, but also kind of confused that they even wanted them in the first place.
I've literally had a $400 car stolen from me once. It was so shitty that I actually got it back with a full tank of gas. I was annoyed that I was late for work that day, but then I laughed at the very fact that someone stole it, THEN put money into it.

That can be removed in seconds though. What benefit does it serve?

Well you posted a photo that clearly needs no protection.
But why does it matter to you what others do with their photos?
