The problem with that is that other people won't accept it - because you are being paid twice.
Once with the output of other people who are using up their finite lives working for output from you, and once self consuming your own time.
Unsurprisingly those working resent this, as they'd rather have Friday off than work an extra day to produce output for people who are producing nothing for them in return.
The workers then agitate to have the income removed from those not contributing. Which is why every basic income 'experiment' in history has failed.
Once you look at it in real terms, the fallacy of composition shows itself. You can't expect others to give up hours of their lives for you if you don't demonstrably give up hours of your life for them in return.
Hence why you have a Job Guarantee (and frankly most of the private sector nonsense jobs out there). It is a public demonstration to those working the machines, that actually produce the output we need, that you are trying to give up hours in solidarity with them.
Then they won't feel they are being ripped off by working past Tuesday.
"that could have very low marginal value to the employer anyway"
It's the job of the employer to extract value. If they can't then they don't get paid. Capitalists only get paid if they transform labour hours into labour services effectively. If they can't, they go bust.
However the labour hours still need to be sold, because that is what keeps the labourer alive. You must give up hours of your life, if you expect others to do the same for you.
If value cannot be extracted, then it gets transferred from capitalists who have failed to do their job properly.
