Talk:Seddie/@comment-3247345-20120131055426

Hey guys, remember back when iLove You premiered and I was absolutely pissed? Anyone remember what my comments were like? For anyone who wasn't here or doesn''t remember, I'll just say that I used of very colorful language to express how pissed I was. I also said that Dan broke up Seddie to appease the Creddie shippers. Then I said that Dan wanted to go back to the old character dynamics. The more I think about it, the more I start to believe it was to appease the Creddie shippers and the less I believe the character dynamics argument. I think we can all agree that the character dynamics didn't need to change much to make Seddie possible in the background. So I don't think character dynamics are a big enough reason to break up Seddie. Back then I said it was to appease the Creddie shippers. Now I realize that appease isn't the best word to describe it, but the argument is similar. Appease implies that the Creddie shippers have such a big influence on ratings that if they stopped watching the ratings would plummet. We all know that Seddie and Creddie combined probably don't even make up 1% of the total ratings. I do think it was an attempt to keep the Creddie shippers on board. We all know that Creddie has no chance, but as long as Seddie isn't together, Dan can keep stringing them along, giving them a false sense of hope to keep them watching the show. Why would Dan do that? It's only a few thousand views at the most. The reason is that he doesn't have to sacrifice those few thousand viewers.If he keeps Seddie apart until the end, he gets to keep those Creddie super fans until the end, then he gets to satisfy his love of love-hate relationships. Sure, few thousand out of millions isn't that much, but wouldn't Dan rather have them than not? Holding off on Seddie isn't that big of a deal, so why would he sacrifice those views if he can keep them then make Seddie happen anyway? Think of it this way: If you have $1000 no matter what, and you are offered an extra $10 if you hold off on doing something that you don't mind waiting to do anyway, would you really do that thing now and lose out on the extra $10 when you don't care about waiting? Of couse not. The $10 may not matter that much, but you would rather have it than not when the price of getting the extra $10 is so tiny. I think that is the true reason that Dan broke up Sedde given how minor the changes to the character dynamics would have to be to make Seddie happen in the background.
