I am not doing anything to damage my system that I was not already doing before I started making money with it.

it is good. You must use reliable and safe sites. In this case, there is no need to worry. Of course, it is always better to use network protection. Sites like FreeBitCo are healthy
PTC Ads or faucets generally do not damage your system, nor do pop-ups what if it usually does is shortlinks, many of these try to download files of unknown origin on your computer or device, it is also better to have automatic downloads disabled in your browser.
Imo, even though basically faucet sites are harmless or will damage your device, in fact advertisers are naughty on shorlinks or pop ups that insert automatic mining, adult content, malware, multiple popups, so that it will use up internet data quota,

Yes, you are right. It's the advertisers that hurt your system, but they're part of the faucet anyway. Let's not forget that these short links and advertisements are suggested by faucets.
I only use shortlinks that have been shown not to be harmful to my computer, I have already analyzed them, most of them are cheaters but there are a few that are legal.
How can you analyze them so you know they are safe? Up to now I just skip them, I have more than enough Bitcoin without them. Just between CryptoWin and FreeBitco.in my balance is just 200 Satoshi from 3 Million and growing daily.
I do not think faucet sites are damaging your system because it's not actually a mining site. You are not doing any mining... You simply earn points when you complete a task, and this points can be converted to crypto.
I have always been aware that a faucet can infect my computer system with malware. The idea of a faucet using my system for mining activities is however alien to me. I think this calls for heightened vigilance whenever I come across a site, including looking at any existing reviews online.
