for a new starter looking for ways to earn/get some bitcoins, faucets are not bad. Its a good way to start your journey on the bitcoin world, personally I also started with faucets. I even spent hours just claiming on faucets in exchange of dust satoshis.
Faucets are probably good for those who have just started their journey with bitcoin and are still in the process or learning the things related to bitcoin.
They start with faucets and then learn everything with the time and then stop using faucets because they realize how boring and time wasting it is.
