No it wasn't always like it.
I used to subscribe to it from the early 2000's onwards and eventually cancelled my subscription about 5-6 years ago as it did become apparent how much of it was politically motivated or cosmopolitan nepotism amongst their tech friends.
I went through a phase of not reading them but taking them on holiday to read poolside and eventually had like 3 years worth to read and because I read them all within a short time frame I really noticed both the shift towards activism and also what utter nonsense they'd promote only for 2-3 years later the thing they'd promoted to disappear without a trace.

Most of the people I knew who subscribed or regularly read it in the first years has abandoned it by the early to mid-2000s for very similar reasons. I don't think it ever changed, I just think the pattern takes a while for most people to realize how completely dominant it is.
