I still have the dust from those hourly faucet visits (sometimes about 8 times a day) ....and it is worth a LOT more now.. than what it was worth back then. (Rome is not built in a day..... collect all you can.. it might be worth thousands of dollars in the future.)

I remember collecting dust from various faucets using rotators several years back which is worth way more currently based on current prices. The issue is that most people like sold them early instead of HODLING them for the long-term.
The minority who managed to HODL for a long period and sold their earnings at high prices probably made bank. This is the best and most effective way to utilise faucets in my opinion.
I joined freebitco.in 3 years ago and I think my maximum I ever received was around 40 - 45 satoshis every hour. I still keep claiming, just in the hopes to win the top prize.
In the beginning, I collected a lot of DOGE, but unfortunately sold most of them when they were around 0.005$... It is always like that

I do click on faucets from time to time, but I think it is too time consuming.
