Did you also try it as just plain HTTP?  You get redirected to HTTPS.

Which for a self signed certificate is a bit of waste and proves nothing
really.

You might be talking to the web site, you might be talking to a fake site
proxying the web site. DNS is not secure so you don't know. If it is a
fake that is relaying the connection you just lost.

At least http:// makes you aware and uncomfortable in doing stupid things.

Unless, of course, you have an out-of-band way of receiving a matching certificate, in which case a self-signed version might be even more trustworthy than the commercial services. That might be the case for some folks using the site in question.
