It's when faucet can be considered as true real money, 0.008 BTC is worth around 300 USD right now. Now it's really time wasting to collect faucet, you can only collect 1-100 satoshi(s) every hour... if Bitcoin reach $100K probably the faucet only generate 1-10 satoshi per hour.
I remember that even then the general opinion was that it was a waste of time, but in a way, it was true then - with a BTC price of just over $200, even 0.01 per day it was only $2. With a good faucet rotator and some referrals, I was able to earn as much as 0.005 BTC in 1-2 hours. The good thing is that I saved most of the coins for the years that followed, and I even have some today
