    Certain unnamed companies coughgoogle doesn’t like to trust Let Encrypt its definitely not an abuse of an illegal monopoly they have good reasons I promise.

    But the whole point behind using a signed certificate is that other people can look at you and immediately know you are who you say you are if a company doesn’t trust you it doesn’t really matter what the motivation is you might as well use a self signed certificate.

    Paid certificates have the money to make sure everyone trusts them and has a reputation to maintain so are more likely to defend a legitimate complaint.

    99.999% of individuals it simply doesn’t matter(although you might have to look into it if you’re using android apps) but to a company the little bit that certification costs is worth every penny.

    Since I’m getting downvoted anyway.

    Fact one: the world does revolve around America

    Like it or not they are the most influential country on earth and the rest of the world follows them and does exactly what they say, like the ***** countries they are

    Fact Two: every country is a nanny state because you all follow America.

    (Unless it’s more beneficial to follow China but same difference)
