I always like to imagine the day when we look at 1000 Satoshi in the same way we now look at this 1.00000000 in BTC value. If/when BTC does get mass adoption, then small faucet money now may be worth a fair bit more.

Faucets are a safe way to begin using BTC without any potential loss.

Well, there is the aspect of building up a lot of dust transactions in your wallet, then the next transactions to include all those inputs are going to take forever to confirm or cost a lot of money in transaction fees.

Yeah, faucets aren't only a place for free money, it's where you can get just enough bitcoin to send your first transaction or two.

Faucets is a good way to get in to Bitcoin if you are a newbie and cannot afford to buy Bitcoins or mine them.
Use that in combination with a signature campaign and as a new starter you are on your way to Bitcoin land.

This is a totally good explaination for way to bitcoin land. My way was like that and now I learn something about bitcoin by using faucets. Because I learned bitcointalks forum while I was looking for new faucets and then I sign up here and reading reading then learning.

I think some still use faucet cuz it's much easier way to earn bitcoins(especially to newbies) compared to other tasks like trading, freelancing, etc. Personally, I use faucets only when I have an extra time to earn some little bits

Faucets serves as a starter experience for the noobs and get acquainted with BTC. Others use them for farming and get few satoshis along the way. A free and easy way of getting BTC. I also started playing BTC with the introduction of faucets.

Bitcoin is GOD

Personally, I used faucets to familiarize myself with the bitcoin technology, when I first began I read FAQS and some websites and it seemed that bitcoin was complicated, but after trying the faucets, receiving and sending money, I realized that bitcoin was extremely simple, and finally I was ready to put some money on it (not much thought).

They're so stupid, I could easily tell you to get a job but there are other things you can do online which will earn you alot more.
Checkout /r/beermoney for example.

It's not stupidity but people often take part in faucets or captchas to spend some free time and earn BTC. Many of them have over 100 referrals and for them it's a good deal to make over $2-$10 daily. Yeah, it sounds like working for pennies but everyone has their own choice to make.

Well, the best way to make the faucet worth your time is by referring people, unless you have the free time to hit all of the faucets out there every half hour, you’re probably not going to extract all the bitcoin you could out of them.
However, they’re free and it is possible to build up a decent amount of satoshi over time.

Faucets could be useful for new users in the bitcoin space.
So they get a feeling how it is to receive bitcoins and how long (or short) the confirmation time is.

Probably because people don't have time to work or maybe because they want to earn a few bucks in a couple minutes without spending much effort. And faucets are perfect for exactly that, earn money for small effort like captcha typing.
