Well this whole article is a blatant spoiler for every Jojo arc to come if I ever saw one.

None of these spoilers are "negligible" if you're one who haven't read the manga and are thinking of watching season 2 of the anime (and possible future seasons). I assume most people who don't read fan scanlations are, as the manga has only had a very limited proper English release.

At first, I was confused about Dio's Stand until it was later explained in the manga. Good thing I read Stardust Crusaders recently so I wasn't taken my surprise.

out of context, the spoilers won't really mean much at all and are rather easy to forget. That said there are indeed at least two big spoilers within the article. That's two too many

Remember, the poll is supposed to determine what Stands is most useful for daily life.

No Stand from SBR and JoJolion? And aren't The World and Star Platinum basically the same thing with different look?

It would seem kind of odd that someone who hasn't read the parts of JoJo's that include stands would read this article and then complain about it having spoilers.

"Daily life".

I'll admit Justice is not very useful, unless you want to control the zombie apocalypse.

Hanged Man + Emperor = Sufficient and deadly attacks. easily useful for the CIA or Spec-Ops.

Soft & Wet is useful for stealing aspect of objects for different purposes.

Harvest should be pretty obvious.

Obvious popularity poll. A few actual potent choices made it somewhere in the list. I'm certain everyone needs some crazy assassination and mass murder abilities in their everyday lives. I would say the most useful ones are the ones for guidance and mobility and some could give you safeguard against near fatal wounds. Harvest could possibly make you some easy cash, but I doubt it would go as smooth as in the manga.

While I agree it is indeed a popularity poll (and no Killer Queen makes me sad), I think some of them really hold some good thought. I mean, I would love to have a stand like Crazy Diamond and I consider it incredibly useful. Actually, one of the reasons for Part 4 being my fav would be how it's actually a non-agressive stand (except for its strenght) and has to be used in a clever way to work efficiently in a fight. But most importantly, it's probably one of the most "noble" stands considering its healing/ability to fix things potential.

Much time-related events. Laughing
Some may be replaced by technology like GPS.

Gonna out myself as being very biased towards Steel Ball Run but really? No Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap? Tusk (free toothbrush!)? Scary Monster (dinosaur furniture anyone?)? Mandom? Poco Loco's unnamed Stand?

Though Heaven's Door and Crazy Diamond are good picks, really useful. Stone Free would be a good one as well, you can to spy on people and steal stuff really easily.

Heavens' Door would be very useful IRL.
