What a shame for adsense to be doing this but my guess is a lot advertisers complained about the poor traffic from faucet sites and they finally had to do something about it, advertisers are the ones who make them money after all
FUCK advertisers, if they DONT like it, don't advertise. They do not pay enough any way! I have a Youtube video, in the last 2 years it has 15,000 views and in return $7 USD, say half of views had ads.
$7 ÷ views
7,500 = you make
$0.00093 USD a ad view. You should make $0.0025 to 0.0035 a ad view. Advertisers get treated to good, after all there make good money from it! Damn you're getting ripped off and there nothing you can do about it. after 1,000,000 fucking views you'll make about $465, at 0.0025 you'll make $1,250.
