I've been ploughing through the sequences in my idle reading time, more or less in wiki order, and yes, these have noticeably less votes and comments than other sequences. The QM sequence is the only place I've seen EY posts with votes of 0 or even -1. This suggests to me a lot less readers. (Perhaps displaying up and down totals, as per Reddit, would help distinguish "controversial" from "nobody cares".)

Controversial is a decent possibility. What EY says IS controversial among physicists, and that may be the source of some of his downvotes.

The lack of comments compared to other sequences doesn't fit that, though.
