The thing is the faucet at least here was always low.    There is pictures of a random sites faucet from the days at the start of Bitcoin where it gave out 10 BTC sometimes but the big thing to remember is there was no monetary value only the idea of itBTC as asome virtual token much criticized, the value accumulation all came later.   This whole thing is almost forgotten now as new people outnumber greatly the original experimenters but faucet wise it was always a lose amount.
   This whole dynamic is almost forgotten now as new people outnumber greatly the original experimenters in crypto but faucet wise it was always a low amount.

I can only remember when it was maybe 300 sats but that was still a tiny fraction back then and nobody cared.    I referred a few people I knew, they lost interest after a dozen uses of the faucet as it takes alot of patience.    It does also scale on use etc.
    I was very lucky elsewhere to get some comp use of a faucet in ETH in its early days (I was also a miner often) so I guess I kind can glimsekind of glimpse how i tit was in BTC tooway back; I believe ETH took off alot faster.
