I'm likely ignorant of some of the external content, but what about forcing https-only users through a view that avoids external content? I already have reddit setup to not show thumbnails and never expand video links inline. It would be a reasonable trade off to me if the only other option is http only. It's nice to hear there were attempts at having an all https mode. I have long been bummed that reddit is http only, for a variety of reasons.

I just checked it out again and it looks like the situation is improved now that Youtube is http (the biggest source of external embedded content). That being said, there is still a significant monetary cost, not in terms of servers, but in terms of the fact that Akamai, the CDN for reddit, charges an arm and a leg for SSL support.
