Without faucets, probably most of people would have never got bitcoins(satoshis) enough to mess around with and ultimately learn about Bitcoin.
yes first i know about bitcoin and i got my first satoshi from faucet freebitco.in and i find all about bitcoin information
we're the same , i also started claiming satoshis on freebitco.in and since then, i became interested on bitcoin and now earning decent amount of btc. faucet is very useful as a start to know bitcoin
