  • Consequentialism posts were communicating a simple idea with a complicated technical example (that is not even well-understood, strictly speaking). Thus target audience is probably too small, people either already have the idea, or don't understand the example.
  • Qualia sequence seemed substantially confused to me (on the relevance-of-arguments level, I'm not saying I can pinpoint anything technically wrong in it). I'm not even sure if there is a way of recovering a clear argument from it.

So I expect it's not a matter of writing style for these posts.
