I think the Hugos started losing relevance well before the Puppies came around. I have to go back to 2013 before I find a winning novel that I read (well, actually listened to as an audiobook in that particular case). I tried to read the winner in 2005, but only got a couple of chapters in before giving up. Then I go all the way back to 2001. So 2 books in 20 years. Yea, not very relevant with regard to the sort of SF&F that I read. Kind of sad how many of those authors I can't really recall hearing of. If relevance means authors that people buy the book and read, well then, not so much.
