Hello!

i have heard alot of people talking about faucets how they are an easy way to get small amounts ob bitcoin by completing easy tasks on some website. i want to know where does the website get the bitcoin to pay you?

The main way is advertising, especially through networks such as Mellowads. Faucets used to be able to carry google ads as well which was a good source of revenue but then google blocked this.

A lot of faucets are using browser miners such as Coinhive now to add to their revenue (but this is now being blocked by a lot of software). Many also offer games etc which encourage you to spend/gamble your coins, so that's another source of income as well.
