This is B.F. Skinner, father of behaviourism. (You couldn't do a better job of looking like a psychology professor).
Skinner’s position reduces to a simple rule:
-
If the product is perceived as worthless → no reinforcement
-
No reinforcement → extinction of the behavior (cancellation)
-
A free month is an attempt to reintroduce reinforcement, but it only works if it meaningfully changes the reinforcement balance
If it doesn’t, the outcome is predictable: the user cancels.
