Usually faucets are a waste of time because they ask too much time/ressources for a too small payout.
I would disagree because it really depends, its great if you are starting out especially and you have no idea how wallets work keys and everything especially security so even if you lose it its not a big deal its a great learning experience.
and on the other side there are people who actually invest their time and energy and walk away with decent gains, it might not be alot but crypto is a long term game
