I saw that a few days ago too. They say things like:

“It’s disappointing just knowing the past. It would have been great had she retired while yet beautiful, but...”

“Still a song princess even being it’s like her voice doesn’t come out? Her figure at times comes off as pitiable. It would be fine if she adjusted a little more to her age...”

“She’s a little pathetic now.”

“Her singing voice is grating.”

Just 22 people and those were even picked by the editorial team of the site, lol
Not representative at all.

Though quite interesting how they summarize in the article, cause it pretty much sounds like people here.

For Ayu they say that her social media outlets are mostly talked about today and how she changed from the past.

For Kuu they say it's her nastiness, but that she has enthusiastic support from various kinds of people, even though those might not be more than some tenthousands. In the published comments, the participants mention the scandal, how she talks like a Kansaian and her too erotic image - nothing surprising here.

And Miwa is mostly disliked by the same gender, cause apparently they think she's calculating and dislike her personality.

They also mention that people like Namie Amuro, Utada, Superfly and Misia are mentioned as well, but their media exposure is small, so there are less possibilities to break the favorability.
They conclude with noting, that Amuro and Utada had divorces and past negative media exposure, while somebody like Kuu is stable married and apparently has no negative elements speaking against her today, so they think their work is still the main influence if people like them as an artist.

Honestly, pretty much everybody known today is in the list.
Imo it's pretty natural coming with fame, that there are also people disliking you. Especially if you have a strong and outgoing personality and that's the case for the top 3.
