From the blog post being passed around (9 categories of entries with distribution per nominee)

2022 was a semi-normal year. https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public...

2015 is the worst prior year. https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public...

2023 has weird cliff voting. https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public...

For reference, 2015 was the year the "Sad Puppies"/"Rabid Puppies" slates tried hard to skew the vote for the alt-right, and managed to distort the set of nominated works. "No Award" won many categories that year as a protest vote by WorldCon attendees.

(Many jokes were made that year about "Noah Ward", multi-Hugo-winning author extraordinaire...)
