it depends upon your reason on why you are claiming from the faucets. If your reason is to earn money right away, then it is really a waste of your time but if your reason is to hold it for future increases in prices, then it is worth your time. A good example of this is Raiblocks/Nano whose value peak at $18.
True.. if you claim and exchange for fiat right away.. it's not worth your time.. the thing is to claim and HODL
