Looking at some of the faucet earnings posted here... I can only suggest you're using the wrong strategy.
It is possible to earn a few dollars a week from faucets - I've done it and then seen that bitcoin go up in value quite dramatically. Also, you need to consider referrals as well which can greatly increase your earnings potential.
It's fair that faucets only pay tiny amounts but why should they be banned as one poster suggested? A) It's completely optional as to whether you visit them or not and B) It's free money!
You can watch TV and earn while learning about cryptocurrency for no outlay or risk whatsoever. I don't see any problem with this.
