That is a creative interpretation that does not seem in line with the text of the GDPR.

> Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

I don't think 'we want to sell your information for money' would be considered a necessary part of whatever webservice/website you offer, given that you could choose a different way to monetize it. Thus you need consent, but clearly the situation you present does not meet the definition of 'freely given. But I hope we will soon see this issue being decided in court.

This thread is just going in endless circles.

If data processing is necessary to provide the service then the service cannot be provided without consent. This is perfectly allowed in GDPR. Ask a law firm for further details.
