Yea, I get to understand that there is a difference between the reward gotten from Freebitco, which is faucet, and that of mining after a few comments and corrections from a few members above. I mistaken it for mining since, when I was using it back then, I could remember some kinds of things that were called mining, but I was totally wrong or misinformed based on the information I got when I was introduced to it.
I'm guessing you have probably seen their browser mining? see: freebitco.in "Browser Mining" - is it worth it? which has been long defunct as I checked this last year or so. I would also note that they weren't mining bitcoins but probably cpu-mineable coins like XMR. BTC is just too difficult as others mentioned.
