As an end user, I don't mind if you're building a product with rapidly changing API's out in the open. I'll still use the product if it's useful and deal with the churn. What I DO care about is not having half of that project rug pulled 12 months down the line when your Series B folks decide that this particular money knob needs to be turned up.

So if you want to not piss off your users, that's the way to do it. Build a model where you can actually sustain the product, and no, giving it away on seed and series A round money then rug pulling that gift is not the way to achieve that.
