Yes, /g/ has suffered much from various low quality crap and that lead to what you're describing. Still, if you could ignore the worst then some of the threads were serviceable a few years ago.
On the other hand /b/ is not just "boring", it is completely dead in every possible way. There are no humans posting there anymore. It is 100% bots. There are a few OPs that are nothing but advertisement of some other stuff (chats or whatever, don't know and don't care) up 24/7.
