>>13450620I'd offer that Gaia's issue is that the main userbase is the late middle school to early high school crowd, the ones who live eat and breathe constant drama.
I spent time on Gaia, but I left eventually because I'd outgrown that kind of stuff. It's in all the comics, all the events, all the lore, all the stuff happening in Gaia's offices that breaks out on the forums when a Moderator has a spaz attack over something the company did, etc.
The central problem for all these places really is that the internet allows for so much expression with so little punishment that 99% of people go ballistic. 4chan, Reddit, Gaia, DeviantArt, even Facebook and Twitter when it comes to the fake persona accounts.
