Nowadays, faucets are mostly a waste of time. They can be useful for testing sending a few satoshis between wallets or for other experimental purposes, but they are definitely not a good source of earning money. You will definetly end up wasting your time and electricity imo, It is better to find another source for earning BTC than relying on faucets.
In addition to that, I think some sites provides small tasks to do pays much more than faucets do, that would be just a slightly better than faucets imo.
Of course it was abused and emptied before too long, LOL.
5 BTC was worth nothing back to then, but I wonder if some of those luckiest people still holding those BTC from this faucet till now lol
