And who pays for all this? Lets say I see a picture I have copyright to on 9gag or whatever and want it taken down, I just contact 9gag and fill in some online form and they just take it down? Do I have to prove it 1st? What of the person who stole it says I'm just a copyright troll?

No one pays if the copyrighted content is not sold directly. If the site makes money over it like how a song is used on youtube and ads run over it, you can claim copyright and gain a percent of the income made for the ads showing over the copyrighted content.

Even before this, each european country had it's own laws. In some you could contact the site and demand the picture to be taken down, other countries protected the site and said the image was fair use.
