Why ever use HTTP over HTTPS? Is there still a valid reason? or In what scenarios would you ever use

"why ever use HTTP over HTTPS these days? any legit cases left?"

seriously tho, with all the push for HTTPS everywhere... is there *any* reason to still use plain old HTTP?

like, i get it’s faster (no encryption overhead) but is that even a thing anymore with modern hardware?

or maybe local/dev stuff where certs are a pain?

curious if anyone still has a real use case or if it’s just legacy systems hanging on.

(also, pls don’t @ me with "security!!" – i know HTTPS is better, but wondering if HTTP has *any* niche left.)

discuss!
