Do browsers warn for http (beyond the address bar icon)? I don't think they ever have for my personal site. I also don't think you can really say there's a "standard" for how hobbyists do things. I'm definitely in the bucket of people who use http because browsers throw up scary warnings if you use a self-signed cert, and scary warnings aren't grandma friendly when I want to send photos of the kids. The benefit of TLS isn't worth setting up publicly signed certs to me, and I don't want to invite the extra traffic by appearing on a CT log.

Like the other poster said, it all makes sense for the corporate web. Not so much for the human web. For humans, self-signed certs with automatic TOFU makes sense, but browsers are controlled by and made for the corporate web.
