Thanks for the replies.

So do you think that people should forget about faucets? Because the last faucet I used gave me 300 satoshis every hour which I calculated to be about one tenth of a cent. So if I clicked on ten faucets every hour, that would still only get me about one cent per hour. But a minimum wage job pays about $10 per hour which is 1,000 times more than that. So even if I clicked on faucets non-stop for 24 hours, I would only make 24 cents. On the other hand, if I participated in a minimum wage job, I would get the same amount in 90 seconds (yes I did the maths).
Faucets are useful for newbies who want to earn their very first fraction of a bitcoin in order to get a general idea of what Bitcoin is about, learn how to set up a wallet to receive transactions, etc. but you'd be lucky to make anything over a couple cents worth of BTC with them. I admit I still click on faucets sometimes but balance-wise, 99 percent of the Bitcoin that I have was bought using cash.
(And did you know that back when Bitcoin was worth much less than it is today, faucets gave out whole bitcoins? That ended a long time ago, but if the predictions that the Bitcoin market will one day rival that of gold or replace fiat entirely ever do materialize, then those 300 free satoshis would then be able to buy you somewhere between a stick of chewing gum and a nice cup of coffee, so that's something to keep in mind as well.)
