I'm not at all a big sci-fi reader, so my opinion is just an uneducated one.
In the previous post related to the Hugos, people were saying almost nobody reads all the books, and usually vote for the few books they have read and enjoyed. That was presented as the usual behavior. Maybe a bit disappointing if you are an idealist that thinks you should read all the books before voting, but not particulary uncommon nor bad.
I think a "No Awards" epidemic has to be the result of political infighting amongst sci-fi readers. Probably because of the recent emotional turmoil around it, because of the advertisement made around it from the puppies.
So, I think those who explain away this event as a rationale move against the "bad quality" of the books presented are doing to in bad faith.
(I have read none of them books).
