>It probably pleases the people who were paying you, because now they don't have to subsidise the people who aren't.

Bullshit. It's unclear communication and indecisiveness that pisses people off. If you can't afford it, there is no reason for you to give something for free and then later take it away. People who are paying will feel that samething will happen to them in other ways. You want consistency.

You would prefer to never get a thing for free rather than have it at no cost for a brief period in time?

Having something for free but for a brief period of time is actually really inconvenient if you think about it. You are basically forced to move or find some alternative. You want consistency.
