Changing the deal retroactively breaks trust. Sustainable monetization is fine — but only when new costs map to new value. Taking away features people already paid for isn’t pricing evolution, it’s expectation debt coming due.

My rule: You can change the future. You can’t rewrite the past.

If you want to monetize long-term, protect ownership, data access, and core functionality — then charge for what truly costs you to keep running.
