I don't agree. Most people get into bitcoin through buying it, or being offered it as a payment. But some people online come to bitcoin through faucets. I believe we are still attracting new Bitcoin users through faucets, and we will continue to.
It is a nice way to get started, the amount one collects is to little to do anything substantial with their coins, so they have to look for ways to further fund their wallets to join in on the BTCitcoin economy. Invest, earn, whatever, but to spend the dime you have earned you need an extra dollar worth to buy you a coffee..
So faucets are not bad for bitocoin
It is a time killing/wasting thing to do, when you have time to kill, better click some faucets and earn a penny, than some virtual candy and earn nothing.
2015 has only a few weeks left, so how bad did it go with BTCitcoin the past year?
