This is actually a question for those who own them.
I was a reading up on how to start a faucet (just out of curiosity) and it said that the majority of faucet sites are not profitable, I saw a fair few and thought that maybe that wasn't true. Why would you spend time and effort and something like that to not make money.
Are any beginners using them and or has anyone just started one?
They used to be. Apparently a couple of years ago when XLM was getting ready to launch its token, there was a website that you just visit and get hundreds of dollars of worth (NOW) in XLM. however, these days it seems like there is not a single profitable faucet out there. I have tried a dozen and everytime I failed to make anything valuable.
