What if I'm willing to forgo my privacy in exchange for money? There's no real difference between saving $10 and getting paid $10, so "privacy should be a right, and not a premium tier" is fundamentally incompatible with "people should be allowed to voluntarily sell their data".

The law also prevents you from giving up your freedom for money; a contract like "I accept to be the indentured servant of $CORPORATION in exchange for $50k" is void. Similarly it should prevent you from giving up your privacy like that.
