Well, Dan's humor doesn't appeal to everyone. That's probably one thing. They probably think all the jokes are dumb.

The laugh track could be another thing. It's the one thing I don't like about iCarly. None of Dan's shows have been filmed in front of a studio audience since The Amanda Show. This kind of goes hand in hand with "people think the jokes are dumb". If iCarly was shot in front of a studio audience, the writers could get a better idea of what people find funny.

As for the "gay" thing, I've only ever seen that applied to Nathan. I personally don't think he's gay, he's just super religious.
