I'm a student, I'm broke, I like the convenience of using the .edu for discounts. Sometimes I run into places that use a third party verification service that asks for a picture of a student id with current semester visible.
But if the problem is equity, then I like Sam Harris's model of offering his content free, no questions asked, for a year. I subscribed to his podcast this way and received an automated response immediately with the rss feed.
I never want money to be the reason why someone can’t get access to my digital content. If you really can’t afford a monthly or annual subscription to SamHarris.org, just contact us, and we’ll give you a 1-year membership for free.

His case is somewhat unusual, though. He's not trying to maximize revenue and it much more focused on spreading his ideas (and meditation training) as widely as possible. It would be astounding if Sketch, Jetbrains or similar companies copied it.
