"I believe that iKiss was to throw you a bone, iTwins was to make you see Creddie via Sam's twin, and that the Seddie arc was done to shut you up."

Just coming back from the dead to answer that I find this to be complete nonsense. There's no evidence at all that The Seddie fandom was even on Dan's radar when iKiss was being written (written even earlier than filmed). It was at a very early stage of the show when Dan wasn't even interacting with online fandom in any way that mattered. There's no need to "throw a bone" to a percentage of the fandom that you barely know exists.

The whole point of iKiss/ITTK and iSpeed Date was a progressive revelation that, first, you were supposed to notice that Sam and Freddie enjoyed kissing each other way more than was expected. Second, they were afraid to admit that to Carly (or each other), and third - you were supposed to notice at the end if iSpeedDate that Sam was hiding feelings for Freddie. This was so obvious that Dan would have had to hit viewers over that head to make it any more obvious.

Therefore, the Seddie arc hardly "came out of nowhere" (it was planned based on the earlier episodes and what happened in them), and the reason it went away when it did, is that Dan didn't want a permanent romance between main characters to permanently change the show's dynamic.

JMO.
