Altough i haven't tested out a faucet in years, i quickly browsed to faucethub and found the average claim seems to be around ~100sat nowadays (i did not do the math, i just looked at the list and remember that most faucets don't actually give you the amounts they claim in those toplists).
I remember that due to the hidden links, captcha's, popups, fake faucets, dry faucets,... It would be a miracle if you were able to claim more than 50 faucets per hour.
This would make your average "income" 5000 sat/hour... That's about 18 cents/hour. In my country, the minimum income (after taxing) is about 7/hour.
Working on an assambly line or at Mcdonalds would be about 40 times more efficient than claiming from faucets. Next to this, working at a factory or a fastfood joint wouldn't require you to invest in a pc, electricity, internet,... It would also give you access to social benefits like insurance, and you would actually contribute to the growth of your country.
My advice: get a real job, buy BTC with part of your wage... Far more efficient
Your thoughts are purely from the perspective of a person who can earn 7/hour, and which has Mcdonalds behind every corner. What about the countries where people work for less then 10$ per month (hard work), unemployment is high and it is difficult to find a job? In some cases users of faucets can maybe ( or maybe not), earn 1$ per day = 30$ per month - for you this is something like pocket money, but for some others this money means much more than anyone else can imagine.
Some examples :
- Bangladesh - 19$ -68$ per month
- Democratic Republic of the Congo - 1.83$ per day
- Kazakhstan - 78$ per month
- Sierra Leone - 57$ per month
- Venezuela - 1.83$-7.98$ per month
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_countryThese are just some examples of poor countries, and there are plenty of them where people live with very modest incomes. I am in faucets world for years, so I know some facts and I am in contact with many faucet users. This is not something that can make person rich, except for some faucet owners/related services - but for some people this is good start to get some coins if they have no other way to do that.
