@Lovehategirl To answer your question we have no direct evidence that Dan gave up control in seasons 2-3 but the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming IMO. We were bombarded with Freddie's creepy crush on Carly in season 1. Then seasons 2 and 3 were the best written season on the show and Seddie was being built up. Then season 4 comes along and the writing goes downhill. We know that many of Dan's writers left after season 3. There's no way that's a coincidence. By the end of season 3 the Seddie fandom had blown up and the story line greatly favored Seddie. So Dan did the Seddie arc. Poorly I might add. Then after dicking around both sides for a year he botched the shipping situation in iGoodbye, but the ending did favor Creddie.

So think about it. If Dan was after a Creddie ending all along, why would he build up Seddie? The answer is he didn't. The writers that left in 2010 did that, and he only completed the story line when it became obvious he had to deal with it, so he could get back to screwing around so he could claim the story led to his botched ending.

I'm more curious about why those writers left. I wonder if it was the whole Seddie/Creddie stuff and they knew Dan was about to run it into the ground. Maybe they jumped off the ship before it sunk.
