I'm going to pick on one point there.

The elevator scene in iLove You.

My view is and always has been that yourself, and the vast majority of seddie fans completely misinterpreted what that scene was about but Dan himself was complicit in that misinterpretation because he refused to clarify it. That moment should have been about 'closure' for the seddie relationship. 5 episodes, in an arc, they don't work out, they move on with a better friendship. Closure. Instead Dan trolled Seddie and now people don't see closure. They see being trolled.

They said I Love You, but not "I'm in love with you". I will always believe that it was intended by the writers and by Dan himself to be the closure of Seddie, while 'upgrading' their friendship to a level that the Freddie & Carly, and Sam & Carly friendships had, ie friendship love (even with Creddie having overtones of being more than friendship).

I'm not trying to rub this in, but this is a 'what Dan did wrong' and that is what I feel he made a major mistake with the Seddie fandom.

Instead of coming 'clean' so to speak, and clarifying it, he got scared that he might turn viewers away by saying "they love each other as friends, they aren't getting back together, it was fun to explore, but in exploring it we see they don't work". Instead he just trolled everyone.

He trolled Seddie in iGoodbye with the phone call. Utterly stupid thing to do. He probably wanted to give Seddie fans one 'last moment' to be happy about with a call back to Seddie, but when they follow that up with Creddie becoming canon it was a slap in the face to Seddiers. "Here, I'll tease you one last time, before doing the exact opposite of what you want."

And he still does right now to be honest, because now he has Sam & Cat as his only paycheck. If people don't watch that it might get canned in one season and I'm not sure Nick will take another chance on him or his shows. So now he's trolling Nathan for Sam&Cat in the hope people will think it's Seddie. Despite neither Jennette or Nathan liking Seddie at all (to the point where Nathan said it's abusive, and both of them said Creddie makes more sense and Seddie doesn't).

Anyway, Dan is a troll. The end.

Or is it?
