That's valid, and just as valid as users (especially in technical circles!) saying "I won't visit HTTP-only sites".

Hence why I didn't frame my request as "the site sucks because it has no HTTPS" but just "I (and others) simply wouldn't visit the site". I'm just trying to spread awareness, no more.

(The rest of those objections boil down to "I don't use HTTPS hence this QA point is irrelevant").

Edit: Thank you for the site though, the weekly digest is absolutely hilarious :D

But isn't that often false, since in many places there are few choices of which ISP connects your home? Am I supposed to just move somewhere else?
