On a way smaller scale, when I was 14 I was running a webcomic blog and it gained a fair amount of popularity considering what it was, but very quickly it also gained the same kind of trolls and it was just way too much too handle, even if they were like 5 or 6 people out of 100 daily visitors
I just can't start to feel enough for the creators who have to *keep working* while this is happening all the time over the whole internet
I remember having a fan forum and it was a hell to moderate with a few obnoxious users. It's gotten even worse when they tried to make it personal - the forum was created by a few of my friends on my server and all we asked people for is to behave and not antagonize anybody. Eventually it got into a spot where any attempt to moderate or ask them to behave (we were pretty easygoing, hardly any bans or whatsoever) got us accusations of being control-obsessed bullies and other wonderful epithets. I pulled the plug eventually because the forum was no longer a good place to hang out or discuss :/
