wouldn't some people have botnets too to get a little extra bitcoin from faucets? i'm sure some bots would be able to crack capthcas on some of these faucets. i'd imagine they'd make a good amount of bitcoin by running a botnet on bitcoin faucets.

this is a good theory , and something i'd actually belive cause i have a hard time beliving there's people spending countless hours doing the captcha's :>

OCRs have very low accuracy, they take sometime before it solves the captcha. The ads in the browser could cause computers to slow down and become noticeable. Most faucet uses either recaptcha or solvemedia which is close to impossible to solve using OCRs right now. Think about it, if owners knows their captcha can be solve by OCR s, they would likely to change it as repeated viewing would yield less profits.

yup , indeed i doubt there's bots solving them which makes it weird that faucet owners profit at all from people using these facuets.

Faucet owners profit by users visiting their page and a view would be counted by the advertiser and a portion of money is paid. Faucet owners are more likely to profit by unique view instead of continuous views from same IP.
