As a relative newcomer to the Bitcoin scene, I will allow myself to be guided by my betters, but I am still a bit upset that all those hours spent clicking on things on the free BTC websites produced payments that are worth far less in reality than I thought they would be.
Yes, I'd be pretty upset with the creators of those sites for luring me in with false hope as well if I were you.
They make no effort to educate their visitors to the limitations of the payouts they provide.
I wouldn't give up hope though. If bitcoin grows in popularity, the exchange rate is likely to climb. Eventually, the minimum required transaction fee (as expressed in terms of bitcoins) is likely then to be reduced. You may find in a few months (or years) that the contents of the wallet can be easily spent with minimal fees (or perhaps even no fees at all).
In the future, if a well written coin-control wallet becomes available, it may be possible to consolidate the dust contents of the wallet as well.
