I think Unlike today, it's very difficult to get that score even you spend so much of your time and effort because the faucet already has a low appreciation.
I did not know about bitcoin during my early years (2009 - 2014), but far back in early 2015, my first time in bitcoin world, I could depend on my income only through the faucet. I mean, claiming the faucet is really worth it. I used to do it only during my free time and as far as I can remember, I get a minimum of BTC 0.001 per day.
