Option 1: Earn $2 (worth 0.00125 BTC) per hour at a real job. Use the money to buy bitcoins.
Option 2: Earn 0.0000125 BTC (worth $0.02) per hour doing faucets or spamming the forums.
If the faucet pays out too often, then Option 2 doesn't actually earn you any money at all. It's a scam.
Each payment that you receive will require 148 bytes in a transaction when you want to spend it later.
According to
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ the current recommended transaction fee for fast confirmation is 0.00000220 BTC per byte.
So, if you want
to spend a 0.0000125 BTC
(12.5 micro-bitcoin) payment that you previously received, it will cost you:
148 bytes X 0.00000220 BTC per byte = 0.00032560 BTC
(325.6 micro-bitcoin) in transaction fees.
You'll have to add 313.1 micro-bitcoin of your own money just to spend that 12.5 micro-bitcoin from the faucet.
In other words, faucets don't earn you money. They cost you money, but they hide that cost in a way that you don't easily see. It isn't just a waste of time, it's a waste of money too.
