the sequences are an excellent way to hook new readers

Is there evidence for this? As far as I can tell, the only way to hook new readers that's made "excellent" is HPMOR.

Excellent in that I would suspect a large proportion of people who started reading Less Wrong did so from reading at least part of the sequences.

I do not have evidence for this, and it might be wrong, but I would be surprised if it were.
