because the adoption curve of paid-up members or cryopreservations is almost eerily linear over the past 50 years

Does that mean a constant number of new sign ups per year, or an increasing number of new sign ups per year? Also, I'd love to see the data if you can link to it.

I recall looking at the historical data somewhere on the ALCOR site but not where specifically. IIRC, it's a constant number of sign ups but due to age-skews, number of cryopreservations varies over time with an expected hump in coming years from older members dying.
