Do they, though? Or are they just unaware of what "insecure" means?
Sure, if you frame it as "[technobabble about TLS certificates], click 'continue' to make the software work?", they'll chose the insecure-but-working option.
But if you frame it as "your Internet Service Provider, government, and possible third-parties may be notified you are watching this video, do you want to proceed?", some of them might think twice, depending on what country they live in and what the video is.
