How is that GDPR compliant?

They'll give you $2 or something like that if you give them consent. You would be surprised how well that works.

Still not possible under EU law (as meta for the no-ads paid subscription)

That's very different, they want you to either pay or not have access. This would be you still having access, but being paid for giving them data voluntarily.

That's perfectly legal and employed across many European business entities.

You can't tie selling user data to some user payment at that level

By showing you an annoying popup every time you use PayPal, and eventually you'll accidentally click OK and it will mysteriously remember this and never ask you again.
