Most faucets payout less then 1 dogecoin when you visit them and no-where near the 5 - 10 I usually payout in each topic. I do plan on raising the payout when I have tasks that actually take some work to complete.
Currently this faucet is designed to give small amounts of crypto for things we are doing on Steemit anyways and possibly introduce some new people to Dogecoin.
If you check my previous crypto for task topics you will see a handful do enjoy participating.
What does the word faucet mean?
I'm not a native English speaker.
Below is an example of a Dogecoin faucet.

All they require is you place your dogecoin address into the correct section and complete a captcha. Then they give you some free dogecoin.
They answer your question best on their webpage on what a faucet is. So I will just quote them.
I decided to give it a try just to compare how much they give compared to me. After I completed the captcha I received the below message.
So as you see, my faucet pays much better.
I actually knew these kind of things happened on the internet. I do believe it's kind of useless. You better deliver newspapers or something like that. It all earns you a higher income.
Sorry for my direct and harsh reaction!
What do you mean these kind of things ... You asked what a faucet was and I told you. No-one is trying to earn a living visiting faucets. Its the fact that its crypto that attracts people to it not the fiat value.
Some use to visit Bitcoin faucets years ago and earned a free bitcoin that is now worth thousands of dollars.
Be as
harsh
as you like its up to you how you want to be portrayed.These kind of things refers to faucets. Like you mentioned, years ago people did this and earned a bitcoin. Those people just got lucky that the bitcoin value increased so much.
