She's sort of known for her massive greed and cheapness but I do think she has donated a lot to charity over the years. Well, I hope so. Nobody needs that much money.
She did tons of stuff for HIV/AIDS/homophobia/racism back in the 80s when there was major stigmatization. I can't really think of anything else that's significant apart from the malawi thing
Ew, interviews like that make me embarrassed to be a fan of Gaga. It's so blatant she's making up **** as she is going along and rolling with it... then gets all defensive when called out. Frustrating. If I was interviewing Gaga I'd call her out on everything
In comparison to True Blue, yes. I'm not saying people were over her or anything just that it wasn't a huge commercial success that everyone makes it out to be here. Sort of like how Gaga can't get TF/TFM status back.
Two consecutive eras without real big hits (BTW was only a "hit" because of the era it came after) is the main thing that damaged Gaga's brand. It's hard to crawl back up after so many consecutive underperforming songs. The "comeback hit" needs to be stronger and stronger the longer you are away, cause else radio stations won't get back on board.
That's not even a little bit true. Not having chart hits doesn't damage one's brand at all - just look at Bernie. Her brand is the strongest of any current female in the industry.

Critically the album is amazing
It's not a decline though, lol. It just wasn't as successful as True Blue. Remember that The Immaculate Collection came out after Like a Prayer so it couldn't be the "start" of her decline.
