It's good that the faucet is still active and I hope that Freebito withdrawals are smooth and without complications as I notice its problems with the rest of the features on the site.
As I mentioned before, although faucets are not very profitable since they do not give a lot of satoshi, they are an opportunity for people who do not have ways to earn some bitcoins, even as an experiment. Getting some satoshi from faucets will push these beginners to learn about bitcoin wallets and how to use them in addition to trading platforms and the features they provide. The educational goals of faucets have become more valuable than financial profit.

BTC withdrawals are still working smoothly. Faucets are indeed a good tool to introduce new adopters to crypto universe, although they were much more friendly and satisfactory to be claimed many years ago. Nowadays, with the exception of freebitco.in and one or another platform, if you want to claim from faucets you have to go through a long lasting process of solving captchas, anti-bot links, intrusive pop-ups and malicious links.

It's too annoying to claim from faucets right now. This niche of crypto industry has pratically died. There are few people who still make use of such websites. Freebitco.in just survived and thrived because it offered side features, like dice, events betting, lottery and investment, taking advantage of the fact they were the most popular faucet since the early days of Bitcoin.

Ten years ago, faucets were indeed a great educational tool to get in touch with Bitcoin for the first time, though.

As the cryptocurrency landscape evolved and faucets gained traction, the rewards they offered were greatly diminished, and they were often disbursed in small amounts. However, their role was pivotal. Beyond rewards, these faucets played a huge role in the evolution of cryptocurrency, acting as catalysts that democratized access and spread the crypto wave to a wider audience. First faucet ever created was in 2010, just one year after creating the bitcoin protocol. Some faucets paid 5btc on every claim. This was huge!

Furthermore, these faucets not only boosted user engagement, but also added an educational layer, introducing newcomers to the dynamics of blockchain transactions, private and public keys, and wallet security.
