In terms of profitable, maybe. But I wouldn't count on it unless you've got a special plan. Most faucets do not last very long precisely because they are not profitable. It's good to start off with a little capital too, as you won't be getting paid for ads until a few months go by.

It depends how you monetize them. Some devs offer bounties for setting up faucets. If you are a dev or miner yourself you can use a faucet to promote your coin. Sometimes you see Google ads on faucet pages that pay for each visitor.

Yes, this is true. But also be careful with Google Ads on faucet sites as Google may interpret the faucet as "incentivized traffic" which goes against the terms of service.

Yeah, I don't know. Just tread carefully. I already got burnt by Google once, they just cancelled all my earnings.
