Sounds like the solution is to simply not maximize for money; charge only as much as you must, and otherwise optimize for the message.
The problems that come from optimizing for money are largely about sales techniques and marketing. You can charge a lot of money without compromising the message, it’s much easier to compromise it because of sales techniques and marketing.
You probably want to charge enough that you don’t need to use sleazy sales techniques to make ends meet.
