I beg to differ. If you know what you're doing, you can easily create a decent passive income stream. I, myself, am earning about 0.2BTC per month passively, and an addition 0.05-0.1BTC directly from faucets; I can earn much more if I applied more time into it, but that's enough of a passive income for me to continue.
Aren't the payments from yours faucet so large as here (satoshinow)? How many faucet do you need to get such amounts?
