I think the shift happened while TD was gaining traction, so around 2015/16, as /cons got popular somehow given the shared info between the two.
Frankly if you want to find interesting things related on reddit /highstrangeness and /occultconspiracy are better sources now, they reflect the original spirit more. There are more subs like this and they are all very niche which allow them to stay on point.
