If he can wait and have patients to play faucets and getting a referral, he will get a nice reward in the future because the faucet now is not worth trying. Even if he has a thousand referrals, the reward will not be too big. It needs a big patient to still playing faucets. After all, that still free ways that people can do to earn free coins. In every way, we need to work hard and not give up before we can reach what we want. We need to believe that what we did could really give something good for us.
To be sincere, faucet is time wasting activity to be doing, I'm not really castigating it either but to me its not something a user needing instant money need to do, it will only work for a user that has patients and love visiting that faucet site. I could remember performing faucet campaign on spectrocoin for a week I stopped because it was worthless and required of me to refer people and also I have a minimum amount to reach before I could withdraw and so I calculated low long it will take me to reach the minimum and the result was something 1 year. That was point I stopped faucet. However, performing faucet is good and worth trying.
Yes, maybe faucet is a time-wasting activity, but if bitcoin price can be $50k-$100k, it is still profitable in the long term. Maybe we do not agree with people who play faucets, but maybe they have their own reason why they are still playing faucets. If they have free time in their days and don't know what to do, they can still play faucets. After all, they only need to click the button once in an hour, so that will not be a problem for them besides doing other things.
Well, what you say about btc price makes sense, but faucets sites are too heavy and dirty nowadays. There are many ads and pop-ups which might lead you to download a malware or any other harmful file that will damage your device and I'm not sure if the profit you collect from these sites is enough to pay for a maintenance of an iphone, laptop or computer.
However I would like to know how many satoshis a faucet hunter is collecting daily in 2020 and how long does it take.
