I see people around the forum looking for the "best faucet" or the "best faucet rotator" or something like that. By using a faucet, you are doing nothing but wasting your time and effort, all to make small fractions of a penny that you'll likely never get to spend since it's so miniscule. And I will tell you why right now.
Take one of the currently best paying faucets (at least that I know of), btcboom.xyz
Currently it pays 400 satoshi every 3 minutes. 3 minutes = 1/20 hour
This is equal to 8,000 satoshis/hour or 192,000 satoshis (0.00192 BTC)/day, assuming you keep going nonstop without losing any time between claims.
If you use a rotator with a few of these well paying faucets, you can probably triple or quadruple these earnings. Let's say quadruple, now you make 0.00768 BTC (768,000 satoshis) per day, once again, if you click nonstop while losing no time. We can make this more realistic and account for lost time by shaving at least off 90% of that, less than 1% for lost time between clicks such as solving captchas, and the rest is for whatever else you're doing during your day, which might still not be enough.
Let's say you have no life outside of your mom's basement and you don't have much else to do other than maybe helping out around the house and taking care of yourself, so maybe 90%, a good tenth of your entire day goes to this faucet rotator. (144 minutes (2h 24m) of claiming and waiting). You'll make approximately 76800 satoshis per day. This is around $0.43 per day by the current exchange rate ($577 USD/BTC). For nearly 2 and a half hours of constant claiming from faucets.
Now let's try a different, more realistic and common scenario. You've got a good amount of work to do for your school or job at your desk, plus you've got to maintain your house (or help maintain your house). You can easily take out 98%. You've got 28.8 minutes of constant claiming and waiting going towards this faucet rotator. You now make around 15360 satoshis per day. A whole 8.9 cents per day.
Basically, don't bother trying with faucets or even faucet rotators. You'll barely make any money and the little bits of money you do make, you won't be able to spend on anything since it's such a low amount. If I'm wrong about any of this stuff feel free to let me know.
15,000 satoshis per day = $0.08655 per day by the current exchange rate ($577 USD/BTC)
How long will it take me to make $1 with such a faucet rotator?
By the current exchange rate ($577 USD/BTC), $1 = 0.00173310 BTC (173,310 satoshis)
Maximum earning rate = 768,000 satoshis/day
More realistic earning rate = 10,000-20,000 satoshis/day, we'll say around 15,000
15,000 satoshis per day to make $1 = 11 days, 13:17:46 hours
How long will it take me to make 1 BTC (currently $577) with such a faucet rotator?
1 BTC = 100 million satoshis
Realistic earning rate = 15,000 satoshis/day
15,000 satoshis per day to make 100,000,000 = 18 years, 13 weeks, 5 days, 16:00:00 hours
And now just for shits and giggles 🤣 😏
How long will it take me to buy a house with such a faucet rotator?
Let's say this house costs $50,000.
$50,000 / $577/BTC = 86.65511265 BTC (8,665,551,265 or 8.67 billion satoshis)
15,000 satoshis per day to make 8.67 billion = 1,582 years, 38 weeks, 4 days, and 18:01:27 hours

The poor remain poor by acting rich.
