I think most people just have a problem with those who are repeatedly disappointed in her work and how they go about showing it because it tends to go a lot like this:

-X single is released-
"This is garbage! Why did Ayu even allow this to be released? She can do better and we know it.
-X single is released-
"I was hoping this was going to be better but it's worse! Why doesn't she just create a new -insert popular/fan favorite song title here-? That would probably excite me again."
-X album is released-
"You know, there is a track or two that is kind of okay, but the rest is absolutely terrible. Especially those singles."
-X live DVD/TV broadcast comes out-
"Her voice is getting worse each and every year and she needs to stop recycling. You're boring me, Ayu! I only skimmed through about half of it and I can't watch any more because her tacky costumes along with her dancers' flailing make me sick."
-X single is released-
"Unoriginal and fails to impress me. She should just retire now so we don't have to listen to this trash. Or better yet, her #1 streak should end as soon as possible so she can stop putting out this mediocre music! Maybe that'll give her a slap in the face."

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Do you kind of see why people think "letting go" of Ayu for a while might be the best solution? I know that not everyone who feels let down by Ayu says those things, but for the most part, that's what I've seen in the last few years. Sometimes I feel out of touch with Ayu, but when that happens I tend to disappear from the forums and not say anything, since there's no reason for me to, really. If you feel frustrated and it's been like that for a while, just try pulling back on the Ayu, don't visit AHS' Ayu portion of the forum and (maybe) avoid stating your dissatisfaction every single time something new is released? I know it's a bit rude to ask since forums are all about discussion and opinions, but I think that for some, each and every release is simply a new opportunity to talk about how Ayu was better before (whenever that before is) and that she's completely sucking now because she simply isn't capable of producing original tracks like "back then".
