The bad news is, it's bad. The worse news is you are going to want to watch it till the end and hate yourself for it.
There is not one bad soap opera plot twist that doesn't happen on the upper east side to this badly written characters. The "your mom is dead... but she isn't", the "your father faked his death", the "i was pregnant but lost the baby in a horrible accident", the "i'm pregnant and it's yours, but it isn't", the "the baby that was left for adoption and now is a grown man looking for his mother"....
And than there are the love affairs: Blair dated Nate, Dan and Chuck, Serena dated Dan and Nate, but once was almost raped in the kitchen by Chuck, though everyone seems to be forgetting that, Vanessa dated Nate, Dan, slept with Chuck, Jenny dated Nate, slept with Chuck, and would've date Dan but he was too Brookline for her taste, oh and also her brother, but probably no one would care since Dan and Serena got married and they share a sibling, and they were legally siblings too since their mother and father got married, also Blair and Chuck got married and Blair slept with Chuck's uncle, also Blair had a relationship with a lord who slept with his stepmother...
The only one who hasn't slept with anyone within this circle was Eric because he was the only representative of the gay community so instead he soon became irrelevant so got shipped off to Africa or whatever.
So everyone slept with everyone. Even worse everyone was IN LOVE with everyone, except for Chuck who never loved Serena, Vanessa, nor Jenny. Everyone has this dark side which they call "the old me" and nice side which is "the new me". Everyone tried to hurt everyone, and mess-up- their-life-and-leave-them-with-nothing hurt, not just you-are-ugly-and- i-slept-with-your-boyfriend hurt. Everyone can access everyone's phone because passwords are so overrated, and even if they have one, it's probably Chuck's mother's birthday. Everyone can enter everyone's home and of course listen to the most compromising conversations so that everyone gets caught in the most compromising positions... and they get away with it.
And in the end, no, it doesn't make sense that Dan is gossip girl. It doesn't make sense that any one of them is gossip girl, because gossip girl, almighty as she is, posted stuff in the worse moments for every character. Dan included. So why would he do that to himself? Just to be in isn't enough cause because of some of those posts he was actually out.
In the last season you can't tell the difference between the characters like in the beginning. There isn't anything that everyone didn't do. Also they don't even mention school although they are supposedly still in college.
The only reason to watch it till the end is to find out who is Gossip Girl (it's Dan) and who ends up with whom (Dan with Serena, Chuck with Blair, no surprises here). And I can't believe this scored this high on IMDb.
