No offense, but that's seriously a terrible reason. I don't why people keep saying this. Characters should end up together based on their characterizations and development not because what ship is more popular than the other.

Let's be honest here, whether Seddie or Creddie or none happen, the fanbase should not matter in the end because fans are fickle and there are huge tendencies to like characters who don't belong together or wasn't planned together.

Two good examples I can think of is Zutara and Harry x Hermione pairing. Despite both being immensely popular, neither actually happen because it doesn't make sense for the character.

Now does it make sense for Creddie to happen or for Seddie to happen? Both are kind of iffy. Seddie admitedly has a stronger physical chemistry but then again there was an entire arc that basically spelled out why they couldn't be together (they argue, Sam still hit Freddie, they became selfish, ignored Carly, have a lot of bad history, don't have any similar hobbies, etc). On other hand, Carly is kind of shallow and has turned down Freddie a lot.

There's a lot of yes and no's in there but the fanbase really shouldn't be part of the equation because you can please some people some of the time but you can't please all the people all of the time.
