Hell, wasn't she apparently #1 WW at some point with ARTPOP? I think that was buried beneath all the "Gaga is irrelevant"-threads. But beyond all the tired vitriol on the internet (though there is a lot of it lately) surrounding her, I don't think she's hurting too bad.
Yes, I do think she deserves better. While it seems that not only are people generally over the Gaga schtick (which makes sense as she's generally stuck to her brand of quirk instead of trend-hopping or trying to tone herself down to appeal to the masses), but they seem to revel in her perceived failures this time around. Typical celebria, but it's just unnecessary.
I really enjoy the music and I know Gaga will deliver with the shows and visuals when the time comes, so unless you just stan for numbers and popularity, you don't really have anything to be worried about as a fan.

Agreed. I'm convinced that Gaga's career will still run for many years to come and I expect highs and lows.
We just all need to realize that what we are witnessing are the effects of the Born This Way era. Because the ARTPOP era is doing decently now (better, more accessible singles), the next era might benefit from it.
And I do agree everything is being blow out of proportion. The only thing legitimately "flopping" are the album sales but the singles are doing well, the videos are doing well, and she's still big in the media.
