4chan is one of those websites I've always wished I could get into, but is too chaotic and difficult to navigate that I stumble out every time. But the few times I've been there, I've been surprised by the quality of some of the posts.

People ("normies") generally associate anonymity with the worst of humanity (G.I.F.T. and all that), but if you're willing to wade through that there's also the best of humanity in there. People sharing immensely personal things they wouldn't have been willing to share anywhere else, writing down deep thoughts that they might have been too shy to post under their real (or real-associated) name, unfiltered advice that cuts through bullshit because they don't have to worry about their image. The lows are really low (and I don't wish to understate this part), but the highs are also pretty high.
