GitHub new “PRO” badges is a joke?
14 points by hilaly on Jan 7, 2019 | hide | past | favorite | 8 comments
Github show up today with new "PRO" banners bellow pictures in users profiles and also in miniatures after mouseover . Almost 80% of people i searched for have this banner. I just want to understand what kind of utility does new badge bring off to the community when there is only a "PRO" and no badge.

Here's the explaination.


I finally caved and started paying for GitHub 3 days ago… time to downgrade back to free!


Same here.


Does anyone find it funny how when you sign up for the student developer pack, GitHub gives you a $7/mo discount for 2 years, but still considers you having the first tier of their subscription, so now the only people with a PRO badge are actually students.


Pro = paid subscription


Well, this makes sense...


GitHub Developers is now PRO. https://blog.github.com/changelog/2019-01-08-pricing-changes...


Surprised Microsoft didn't shame unpaid users directly and offer premium merge options yet.
