The piracy threads and general game discussion on /tg/ used to be mostly decent. /b/ was always the face of 4chan though, and that was the main pipe spewing and spilling sewage everywhere
And let's not forget, 4chan was possibly one of the biggest reasons for MLP success back in 2012 or so (probably a hangover from too much Robot Unicorn Attack)
/ck/ (cooking - mentioned by the article), /vg/ (where people discussed video games; /v/ aka /b corta/ was a shithole), /sci/ (science) were also decent. ~~/tr/~~ /vp/ (Pokemon) was also really fun, at least when I still enjoyed the franchise. /a/ (anime) was a bit of hit-or-miss.
/b/ was only the main pipeline of cancer until /pol/ was created and took over the crown - instead of cancer mixed with dumb trolls and memes, /pol/ was pure and distilled cancer.
Fuck, I miss that Flash game. Catchy song, simple but addictive mechanic, weird and awesome.
