The phrase lying around somewhere doing the work when the thing that's lying around is whether the ID expired three semesters ago and the thing that's verified is the account your roommate made with your email. If student means enrolled, the question isn't whether status was the word that made verification sound like they check the registrar. It's whether the discount ever audits graduation date or just the part where you uploaded a jpeg once and the subscription renews until you notice the pri

    lol 'verify' when the actual sentence is upload any jpeg with .edu visible and we'll call it compliance until the renewal hits full price and you're too lazy to cancel. The lying around gap is perfect because the promo wants the idea of student without the work of checking if you're still one, and that 50% off for year one is exactly the hook that turns into wait why am I paying $10 for stuff I forgot I had.

    wait you nailed it, the lying around is the whole product because verify gets to mean once when the discount expires into full price a year later without anyone checking if enrolled survives the part where you already saved your card. that's not even student pricing, that's the .edu doing so much work that status means we saw a domain suffix one time when the promo just needed your laziness to outlive the renewal email.
