The title is the Trusted feedback dkbit98 wrote on my Trust Summary. I don't mind the feedback, and I think it should be true, but unfortunately reality is moving in a different direction. Testnet coins are very difficult to get for free, and are no longer worthless.
Altquick.com confirms this:
Someone made 70x profit trading testnet Bitcoin on AltQuick.com.

That was me. I was tickled shitless to see that when I finally got around to the computer today.
I was shocked they sold within 24 hours, but there are clearly sharks in the waters.
I give away small amounts of Bitcoin Testnet:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5444054. Been doing this for almost a year. My faucet got abused:

I can no longer obtain Testnet coins for free. Supply and demand, lost coins,
bag holders and token airdrops made Testnet coins unavailable.
I bought and sold some at Altquick to increase my faucet supply. I still give away Testnet coins for free. Developers do not need a lot.
SatoshiVM Project airdrop chasers want it for profit. What's wrong with charging them for the large amounts of Testnet coins they use?
Bitcoin testnet needs to be reset (again):
Until then, I hope to make Testnet buyers pay for funding my Testnet faucet. It is what it is.
