tldr: HTTPS provides false sense of security and is difficult to implement.
- Prefinem 10y agoI don't see why people thing HTTPS is difficult to implement. Pre Let's Encrypt it only took me a few minutes to setup an SSL cert for 9 bucks (cheaper than the domain renewal). With LE, it's now so simple, it's my default process.
- em3rgent0rdr 10y agothanks to Let's Encrypt, it is easy for someone running their own server. But I think for regular folk running on a hosted service, who aren't comfortable with command line and who won't even have the necessary permission, they are going to be stuck with what they have, and probably have their domain held hostage, so will be forced to pay for some crappy cert if they even wanted https.
