I'm weird. Just to show the top 5 most useless blocks on scratch. Correct me if anything is wrong.
1.

(days since 2000)

2.

(distance to [ v])

3.

([ v] of (9))

4.

(loudness)

5.

(volume)

I should be correct

define Jcoder988
say [I am a coder] for (2) secs
say [I like games] for (2) secs
say [I follow 2 people] for (2) secs

Somehow, you picked some of the more useful blocks.
days since 2000 can be used to create scratch calendars and timers.
I usually use distance to mouse pointer for pen projects.
oper of x is used… for a lot of things. Most usually absolute value, so instead of

wait until <<(var)>(thing)> or <(var)<((-1)*(thing))>>

you can just have

wait until <([abs v] of (var))>(thing)>

Loudness is best used for audio visualisers, or for voice detecting.
Volume, well, uh… um…

I guess you're correct on that one.

So it should be
1.

(() mod (0))

2. ???
3. ???
4.

(loudness)

5.

(volume)

I have never used the ‘Days since 2000’ block, but I see how it could be useful for making calendar projects. I am working on a scrolling platformer/RPG, and I have use the 'Distance to ' block at least 20 times already, and the ‘volume’ block can be used to keep track of the volume of the music/sound effects of different sprites and backdrops. No offence, but in my opinion, these blocks are not very useless.

So which are useless?

Not days since 2000, It is actually quite useful as it displays global time, many many many, projects have used it.

I'm pretty some projects use volume too

Actually, in my opinion, the most useless block is:

when [ v] key pressed

because you can just use

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [ v] pressed?> then
 ...
end
end

and you don't have to get angry at the built-in delay.
However, it still has some uses (like typing in-project text or detecting the key after the stop button has been clicked), but these aren't used that often.
