Hey, not so fast with conclusions, please.
Do you want an ISP filling your recipe reading with their advertisements. Nope? Or a random dude spoofing a Starbucks WiFi hotspot and serving you a malware on what you think is a trusted download site. Still no?
That's what TLS is for. Not for random paranoid geeks or "just email and online payments" security.
Oh, but, yes, Let's Encrypt is not yet completely production grade and still have some compatibility issues with older systems. Currently the only non-paid options I know are WoSign and StartSSL.

- dspillett 11y agoIf there is a fraction of a $ to be made per instance by replacing references to (for example) Nutella with references and referral links to some other spread I'm sure it would happen somewhere, and might change the outcome of the recipe in terms of taste/texture or worse make people ill if a recipe avoiding particular allergens ends up with the wrong product being recommended.
