DO THESE ‘FREE BITCOIN’ SITES WORK?

Google the phrase ‘free bitcoin’ and you won’t be disappointed with the number of results. What you will be disappointed with however is the nature of the sites claiming to offer ‘free’ bitcoins. As the old saying goes: ‘Nothing in life is free.’
What these sites actually do is require you to perform time consuming tasks for a few measly satoshi (0.00000001 Bitcoin) which you will probably never see in any useable form as the sites have payout minimums that are impossible to reach. I decided to trawl through some of the top results for this search in an attempt to actually use them.
Bitcoin Reward (bitcoinreward.net)
First off this site is incredibly slow when browsing through the various tasks to earn bitcoin. It supposedly pays out every day if you have at least 10,000 satoshi earned on the site, which is around a measly $0.05 USD at the time of writing. But I could not confirm this as the only worthwhile tasks where surveys none of which would work. Watching videos only paid out around 3000 satoshi each, and there were only four available regardless.
