sure you have to watermark everything, but two things you are ignoring
1. you don't have to use the same watermark for everything (affiliate content could be watermarked differently)
2. Done correctly (branding bugs) you increase retentions (i haven't been able to test this because i don't own a pay site, but since conversions increased because of a proper selling message using branding bugs, common sense says this message will convince people to keep renewing too), which balances out the loses from watermarks
