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.
