> I can only say that if an imposter site encourages you to pay for something or download code, you will immediately know you are in the wrong place.

That is such a flawed argument. If someone makes an imposter site, they're not gonna keep that warning there. And first visitors would have never seen the previous warning.

Of course the chances of that happening are very low for a website like that, but the argument is still flawed.

The whole thing could be summed up "Because I don't want to", all of those other arguments seem weak at best. Which fine, do whatever you want with your blog, but it doesn't change the fact that the arguments brought up are bad under the disguise of being a big reason for not having https.
