GitHub new “PRO” badges is a joke?

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.
