Any user who joins the faucet knows a bit about Bitcoin otherwise there is no reason in the first place to join it.
Not necessarily. I know some people who were not familiar with Bitcoin (or cryptocurrencies in general) before they discovered faucet sites like Freebitco.in. Most of them had migrated from PTC sites looking for better earnings online. I'm sure there are people like that among the members of this forum. Therefore, I believe Freebitco.in is still fulfilling one of its original goals, that is to promote BTC and cryptocurrencies to a wider audience.
