That's not quite a fair summary.

The sad puppies gamed the nominations, most successfully in 2015, and the Hugo voters reacted by voting for No Award in the categories they gamed.

To prevent small (ca 20%) numbers of nominators controlling the selections, the rules were changed for the 2017 Hugos
