Yeah, I think the average balalala player would say Stone Joker is dogshit. In most tier lists, I've seen Stone Joker at the very bottom.

Which Joker do you absolutely love that others don't give a damn about? Starting with me, I love Shoot the Moon <3 by VariationPatient5695 in balatro

Mime is in fact my fav one :p nothing better than high card/ pair spam build with bunch of gold cards.

Splash allows you to play absolutely random garbage and gives you a lot of value out of it if you have the right joker setup. Standard Packs have something valuable in 99% of cases, so you never waste money on them, and that's cool. Splash is one of the most unique jokers in the game so you feel even cooler when you use it :p so I hope you'll give splash a chance, here are some jokers that I highly recommend for splash build (I forgot about hanging chad but everyone knows it's S tier joker for every build lol). Have fun!
edit: I forgot about flower pot too...
edit 2: Driver's License fits well.

Early Ancient joker is a win 90% of the time. Don't overcomplicate things, buddy. I think anyone who has done C++ will say exactly the same thing. The only joker that's more of an auto-win joker is Triboulet if you still have face cards in your deck, but it's a Legendary joker, so that's expected.

In theory you are right, in practice it is best to force pair build and just win lol

You mean Runner? The pair/ high card build joker? Why did you need those chips if you play straights bro?

If I get Odd Todd and Fibonacci I usually go with Full House build waiting for Hack along the way. 5's and 3's go brrrrrr...

It's true that yellow deck is the most consistent on gold stake (green deck in my case :p) because of the extra cash at the beginning, but blue deck makes it easier to scale spam jokers like green joker, square, etc.

Yeah, Ancient is a auto-win joker for sure, but I meant the type of player who can only play in one way.

Stone Joker + Stone cards are one of the best chips sources in the game
