once the award actually became what it was *touted as* (award for popular SFF with more mass fan appeal and less "high-brow" readership) and not what it was intended to be by people who proposed it (an award for right-wing SF) it turned out that the right-wing stuff isn't actually that popular

(there's still differences in what kind of works get the award vs Hugo and Nebula, but not as much in terms of politics)
