In the end, it's all about stacking sats. Even back then faucet rewards were a waste of time for many people, faucets give around $0.002 (I took freebitcoin prize at the moment, but I guess there are better and worst ones)... but now that is 9 sats, and before it was around 1000 sats per claim (when I joined freebitcoin). So who started claiming faucets and having fun on the site long ago (in the best possible case withoeut or with some small losses, I am not in that category) now have a decent amount in BTC.

Faucets are waste of time if you are trying to make money with them... and I am sure we all know how many people try to abuse that, but it's not the point. I click that claim when I remember or when I am checking the site (for playing or FUN price, free WoF), while I am there why not? And like I explained above, with some careful playing and bankroll management (unlike me...) anyone can have fun and make a nice amount of sats.
