No it's not a tech question. It is a question about if not having a SSL certificate will scare of visitors with a non-ecommerce site. If I was asking about how to install it or how to works you would have a point.
If you're collecting data or have authentication, yes. If it's just a static landing page or something no. To add SSL lookup LetsEncrypt
It's getting more and more important. Browsers are starting to get people more informed about security, and every hip new website that offers dick pic sharing or whatever the fuck else always has https. You should have an SSL cert.

Authentication as in something like any kind of login even just for commenting on articles?

Let's put it this way. If the site has any sort of interaction where the user and server share information that the user would not go announcing on a megaphone, then the site should have SSL.
