Why would a website who's only purpose is delivering blurry pictures need HTTPS?

It also prevents access for users living in oppressive countries.

HTTPS-everywhere was the second bane of my internet existence when I lived in China.

I don’t know how it is now but a decade ago you basically couldn’t access anything on https.

I'm not sure if this is a joke/meme but that is also insecure.

It neither a joke nor a meme, its a reality check for unnecessary https.
