Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother with crypto and faucets. It just doesn't seem worth the effort at present, since I can't buy anything with it and I can't exchange it without getting my name on a government watch list. (To be clear, I'm not looking to exchange my crypto for fiat, since that would be a loss and I don't trust the incumbent system. The reality is that I still have to deal in fiat, since crypto hasn't caught on or gone mainstream in my small part of the world, at least as far as restaurants, shops and vendors are concerned.)
In effect, I'm stashing what little I get in the hope that doing so will pay off in the future while I'm stuck and struggling now. Sure, there are many other ways in which I could waste my time, but they don't pay either. Of course, I could do something constructive, but I've never been good at that, especially if it has a high boredom factor (such as being repetitive, like shortlinks and PTC ads).
Every now and then I get a (relatively) big payout from a faucet or CVN, which keeps me coming back in the hope of more of them. I should probably spend my time looking for a "real" (fiat-farming) job. It's unlikely to be much (if any) more mindless or tedious than clicking a button every five to thirty minutes for a small reward. However, it will likely be a lot more stressful. That's the aspect I wish to avoid, since I don't do well in a highly demanding and stressful environment (although I don't really know how to ,do anything else . I tend to panic instead of knuckle down and produce results.
