Maybe - I'm not sure of what you mean by "continuum many" - you mean like real numbers? I was thinking more of something like "roughly countable, though the count will depend on which definition of "world" (or "blob") you use", or even better, "it doesn't really matter".

Yes, I mean as many as real numbers. Or maybe even more, I don't know. I am asking you, who is telling us that:

The Many Worlds Interpretation doesn't imply a countable number of worlds

(Of course, MWI is popular, but I agree with those who say - it's just ridiculous.)
