this is the flickr business model* offer a good product for free
* offer a better product for money
* let people find out why they need the better over time
it's basically try before you buy and wouldn't work if they emphasised the restrictions of the free account before you you signed up.
you're not keen on this model - oh well - come up with something better and if it works (i.e. you make lots of money) then everyone will copy it and do that instead.

You were going to upgrade from the free account until you realised the free account was limited?I think you're doing it the wrong way round.
