I always feel like I'm taking crazy pills with this.

When I compare the early seasons to now, to me there's been a decline in quality, but not such a significant one that I can understand this attitude. Go watch season 1 again, it is not as perfect and easier to take seriously as you remember. Of course I love early SPN, but there's a reason it took me a while to get really into the show. It's kind of embarrassing to watch sometimes, it's still one of the best shows I've ever followed and kicks most network television in the ass, the end.

Thiiissss. I've seen much worse declines in quality then the one SPN has. SPN always had some bad acting and embarrassing plots going on, but it's a fun show.

Oh my God, this.

I marathoned the hell out of this show once season 6 was running and maybe as a result of that I don't have a lot of the same opinions most of the fandom seems to have. Like that s1 and 2 are the best (tbh I found it hard to get into, like you said, and I... didn't find it scary at all. Not even Bloody Mary and people think s1 and 2 are by far the scariest? I found the living teddy bear the scariest tbh) and from 4 on it's a steady decline in quality. It just went in a different route but it's not gotten that awful in my opinion.

Also I didn't get really attached to the Winchester brothers being the solo main characters in their MOTW show like most of the older fans probably are because I didn't watch it one episode at a time.

I like the show for its willingness to step into plots, like the angels, and... Heaven, and just picking up random folklore to make a monster out of. Not many shows seem to do that nowadays. So even if it sometimes comes off hokey and awkward, this show is much more refreshing than many other shows out today. To me, that is.

Seasons 1 and 2 are often quite slow, especially season 1, but 2 got better because they started getting into their groove and started inserting more comedy (I like the cracky episodes.)

What's interesting to me is a lot of people who talk about the HUGE decline in quality are also HUGE Cas fans, and I just think, "WTF, Cas wasn't even in the first few seasons? Don't you enjoy the later seasons at least a little if Cas is your favorite?"

Same thing goes for if they like Crowley or any other recent angel/demon.

This. Supernatural takes on themes I like seeing different takes on (basically, the supernatural.) As long as they keep doing that I will still have an interest.

I think the only thing that made season 1 the least bit creepy is that they were more conscious about sustaining a horror-movie-like atmosphere with really dark lighting, which can make a big difference. (Though for me the only thing that really freaked me out was the immortal guy in season 3 who was kidnapping people to take their organs, ugh *shudder*) I was always kind of disappointed that they abandoned that for a more conventional-looking style later on, but as the series evolved from its simpler original formula it just wouldn't always have fit. I was never the most interested in the horror aspect of the show and the monster of the week format anyway; it would have been too boring for me to get invested in if there hadn't been the bigger demons-and-angels-and-a-big-plan plot hinted at since the very beginning.
