This would not be valid under GDPR, they would still need to have a tracking opt in for the "free" version. There are no loopholes to this.

  I don't think this is true, many news sites either offer the option to accept cookies and show ads or offer a subscription without ads and tracking cookies. This has been ruled as being valid by courts.

    Sure but the free version doesn't have mandatory tracking, that's the point. Paid, ad free Facebook is orthogonal to this.

    I'm not sure I ever got on such a website! They usually ask you to disable ad-blockers in order to accept ads, but they cannot force you to accept personalized ads.
