On HN the comments are skewed towards TLS. The reason varies, some experienced bad IPS that inject or replace ads, some are driven by an agenda, etc. But in the real world when you travel around you will face HTTPS websites you cannot access because your company fucked up the network (replaces certs), countries force you to use software to replace the certs, country-wide firewalls that make HTTPS ultra-slow. Outside of the SV bubble, many sites just offer HTTP and HTTPS. And that's good. After all, many websites just present some text and pics, and you don't have to input any data at all - if you don't rely on some evil ISP, HTTP is enough for that. And even Amazon.com was HTTP-only (beside the login page) from 1994 to 2016. It's time to change your ISP, if you are unhappy with it.
