You are right of course, I am mainly referring to curation side, however even curation can provide much more than a faucet and is so much more interesting that answering captchas.
My experience in the first month however has been a small trickle of funds similar, but much more entertaining to a faucet
I earned ~60$ my first month , that would have never been possible with faucets. But well i m not saying faucets are bad ... if you would have done faucets a few years ago , you could now be rich :)
Maybe bitcoin will reach 1M$ in a few years and doing faucets is not so bad today. The best one: Moon bitcoin
