I have noticed this idea being talked about on Discord too that once you start paying you would get access. My idea is that you would only get access to what your total contributed amount allows access too. For example if you had previously pledged for Alpha access and now started making monthly payments of 14.99 you would only gain per-alpha access once your total pledge amounts added up per-alpha levels. Same thing if you start monthly without any previews pledges you would unlock pledge levels as you hit them not before.
My expectations would be that most people would only use this to increase there pledge level. It would be a way to both support Pantheon in an affordable way long term with the added advantage of the possibility of unlocking higher pledges.

I've put forth the hypothetical to those who tell me "just donate more if you care and want to make a difference": If you paid for anything (in-ground pool installation, home redecoration, a coffee from a shop, literally anything) and the people you paid had discussions with everyone in your neighborhood about plans they had for said service, you received no actual progress on the thing you paid for and the company not only avoids providing concrete details about the service but requests a month later that you consider paying more money for services not rendered, would you accept that? If not, what is the difference between this situation and why do you expect your neighbors who witnessed this to put their money in?

Okay, well in the interest of furthering discussion I'll say that being out of money (unprovable on my part and not worth me considering) is a separate discussion from whether or not they're looking for money. If they weren't, new monetization options wouldn't be up for consideration.
