Myth: you need a paid watermark remover for repurposing clips
Sold hard by sketchy apps. If you're repurposing your OWN content, you don't have a watermark to remove — export clean from source. If you're scraping others' watermarked clips, no remover fixes that you'll get reuse-suppressed anyway.

What actually helps
— Re-export from original project, no watermark
— Crop tools (CapCut, free) for legit edge cases
— Paid 'AI removers': $10-20/mo, mostly unnecessary

Pros: free crop handles the rare legit case.
Cons: removers encourage scraping that kills your reach.

Price: $0 if you own the footage.
Best for: nobody who owns their content.
Verdict: skip watermark removers entirely. Export clean from source. They solve a problem you shouldn't have.
