What do you base your guess of higher readership upon? e.g. there's been no new HPMOR this year, so no n00bs from that.
Well, the surveys have consistently shown growth, although IIRC the last survey showed less growth.
Growth in survey answers, presumably? We're talking about hits here, which includes the lurking masses. And should be a much more solid number, if we have it.
And growth in status of the survey.
If you mean growth in the status associated with taking the survey, which is what actually matters for gaining responses, then I'm not sure about that. I haven't run the regression I'd need to generalize, but my own ritual "I took the survey" responses have gained me less karma each year.
There are other population dynamics that could explain this, but they all look a little far-fetched to me.
