That's true, I used started out by using faucets. It's great way to start with Bitcoin and learning more about it along the way.
I started out with faucets too, everyone did.
It was a big waste of time, but alteast I learned how to use bitcoin, and how to not waste time on useless work.
I dont see why it should be banned, it is still good for entertainment if you like to waste your time.
Everyone did? I didn't nor did anyone I know who got into bitcoin. Most people are smart enough to know that even faucets are a waste of time or they soon realize it, though I'm not disputing they don't get people involved with bitcoin or get them their first coins which is still a good thing.
