I think that a "better" way to do it would be a choice: a) delete all your private content; b) make all your content public. But the tweet is tendentious. Nothing prevents the user from deleting their content - THAT would be the problematic part. So it's a small nuisance for the user, but they ARE telling the user. They don't make your content silently public and then say "you agreed to that in paragraph 7.9.12 when you registered."

Or better yet, your old presentations stay on the same terms, but any new presentations are public. (This is similar to how LucidChart works)

  I was talking about a better UX choice. You're talking about changing their free tier pricing. Their free tier pricing is 100% legit, why would you expect more free beer than was granted to you?!?

    I'm not talking about changing their free tier pricing - I'm talking about changing their functionality in a very limited way for ex-premium members.

      There's no ex-premium. There are paid plans, and the basic free tier. You're talking about changing their free tier pricing. https://prezi.com/pricing/basic/ https://prezi.com/pricing/basic/ The basic free tier for Prezi is "you can use our platform but your presentations are public". Once you're not on a paid plan, there are only two choices: you can delete your presentations or make it public. When you are on a paid plan it IS possible to download your presentations to your computer. There's nothing that entitles you to "my saved presentations are mine forever in Prezi and they stay private even though I don't pay.". Nothing.

        There are plenty of companies that treat content that was created while you were a premium user differently when you revert back to a free user. I’m not saying that anyone is entitled to it, I’m just saying that I think the model of ‘content created when I was a premium subscriber can retain some limited premium features’ is a much more graceful and customer-friendly downgrade path. Forcing all your documents into either public, or a downloadable format you will never be able to edit again even if you resubscribe, doesn’t seem very consumer friendly.
