"Any concern about mass defection of paid users to unpaid is unlikely if the service is good and shows trying to take the high road."

In my experience, this works until a user hits a moment of hardship or "meh". Then they cancel and find it's easier to reallocate those consumption dollars to something new than reboot the subscription.

But if you're not providing an essential (Mazlow) for life, isn't this going to happen anyway?

True. Money and life are brutally efficient: but also stochastic processes. Value might exist, but it's utility waxes, wanes and sometimes waxes again. Hence the principle of letting go totally willingly... Having that much confidence in the value when it's needed again. ;)
