> ISPs and coffee shop wifi injecting ads into webpages wasn't a theoretical attack I run a trivial site via http and I don’t care about isps and coffee shops injecting ads. I’ve never witnessed this myself or known anyone affected, but my site is free and non-commercial so I wouldn’t care if a location did that. For me, it’s worth the removal of a minor chore to not run ssl. Comically, my host automatically ads ssl every once in a while, then tries to charge me, then breaks ssl.

Running non-ssl on the public internet is like unprotected sex with a random partner. Maybe because you've not witnessed a STD doesn't mean that there aren't a entire shitload of them out there that present real risks to the population.
