I noticed 'Membership' appear for a moment at the top of scratch website next to create / explore, and what do you know? Going to https://scratch.mit.edu/membership leads directly to a new membership page. And it appears that it will be advertised close to everywhere since it will be in the navigation bar. The benefits right now: - Free trial to 'professional' storytelling (professional storytelling to who?) - Exclusive sprite scratch pack - Scratch ears (creates social class division) - 10% off scratch merch - "Sharpen your skills with Scratch tutorials, live webinars with the Scratch Team, and special content from guest experts!"? Griffpatch already exists? I don't get who will need professional level storytelling free trial and exclusive sprite costumes. I don't know exactly how long this page has been around, but the appearance of the 'Membership' in the navigation bar is new.
