I'm thinking of starting my own faucet, just to learn more about crypto, making profit is a distant second.

Is it possible now to have enough crypto to come from the ads to supply the faucet, to make it self-sustaining? So I wouldn't have to keep pouring money into it?

If so, what would be:

1. an enticing enough claim amount to keep people coming back

2. a reasonable interval to keep visitors coming and not draining the faucet too quickly

3. a good way to protect against bots

I'm leaning toward making it public, not requiring a registration, is that a good idea?

Basing all of this on the 99satoshis blog post, in which the guys actually made a profit, but it was from AdSense and a few years ago, before it got shut down by AdSense.

I want to make my faucet run off of a-ads or something else that pays in bitcoin, so the funds would go directly to the faucet.

Think this is possible? Not possible? Please poke some holes in this "plan" Thanks in advance!
