As I can remember 3year ago while I was hurting for bitcoin from faucets to faucets, I can make up to 500k sats within a week from faucets! And am wondering now if it still so?
I was similar to you when I first started looking into bitcoin and faucets allowed me to get a little bit to see how it all worked, back then you could make something worthwhile, with the price as much as it currently is I doubt the payouts would be worth it, I haven't looked at any recently but freebitco.in was always one of the legitimate sites.
