I had to cancel my membership last January 2020 because I couldn’t afford it, but now I want to restart but it seems like the option for starving maker is gone, or maybe I just can’t find it.
This is the screen I am looking at, is there somewhere else I have to go to do the starving maker option? I remember it being right next to regular pricing last time I did this.

“starving hacker” is gone, but what most people qualified under are still around but you need to open a ticket for a promo code.
Thanks! I am a student so will send a ticket requesting the code
I can’t speak for @hon1nbo or others, but my understanding is that starving hacker was being abused by some. I could be wrong though.
I understand. When I originally signed up I asked what the requirements were for it and was basically told “You want to”. I am glad they have redefined it, but it would be nice if the student/senior/veteran option was obvious. Of course I am happy to provide verification, but I didn’t know if that was even available anymore.
