Hence why I wrote 'genuine' - complaints and fat-shaming aren't constructive at all, and shouldn't be considered so. i.e. constructive feedback could be considered comments by the the fans that very clearly expressed in 2008 that Mirror should be a full track, because it was awesome and had potential.
Also, I didn't mention in my original post that Ayu should fully adhere to the comments of fans. Fans are not music industry professionals, but it is important for a pop artist to have avenues to understand how their audience is currently perceiving their music and other endeavors, and social media is one of the most rich places to derive that from (even though it sucks that it facilitates some the worst of anonymous hate).
What I do agree with is the wellbeing of Ayu - if she feels healthier being off social media, then I support her.
But I feel it is worth mentioning that she has lost some connection with her audience in doing so. It's an interesting conversation topic, particularly as Ayu has always seemingly facilitated this sense of openness with her audience (whether this was more perception than truth is another point of debate, and differentiates with her respective 'eras'). However, I'm sure she's considered this, and has weighed up the pros and cons of having comments closed.
