At first I thought you were over-reacting a bit with this video (I know the over-reaction is the joke, but still), who doesn't love Let's Encrypt?

But certificates also have downsides. Creating a TLS certificate puts your domain on a public list (CT logs), which invites hackers and scrapers to your site.

So even if you claim a name like ae0t6vnr73j7tq1t1s.org, if you want to use it without having to ignore the browser warning, you will have to deal with those other visitors too.
