My general opinion is that much of the web probably doesn’t need to use secure connections via https, especially if a site isn’t interactive in the slightest, but there’s one major benefit. With a secure connection you can have some reasonable assurance that visitors are reading something that wasn’t altered by any nefarious agents (your cable company, your government, criminals, etc). You could be trying to blog pictures of something innocent like your cat and garden, but if a nefarious actor wanted to, they could intercept the request and serve say terrorism instructions and hypothetically get you in trouble.
