imho it's worse for SPN, because at least VM had that one season of utter brilliance. like, there can't be any arguing that VM season 1 was pretty close to perfect. SPN on the other hand has always had SUCH PROMISE of INCREDIBLE AWESOME, and that they have been screwing the pooch so horrifically hard is just nauseating. ugh.

of course, the writers haven't ruined it half so much for me as the fandom, but that's the kind of thing i can only confess under a locked post in collapsed comments, lest i be seen to be criticizing fandom, which as everybody knows makes you hitler.
