Just to add: The monthly signups for the EA newsletter at effectivealtruism.org look roughly constant at 250/month since October 2015. There’s a slight spike of 320 in December.
Before October there was no newsletter but you could subscribe anyway. The rate was ~180/month from April to July and jumped up to 300 in August where EAG and DGB happened. Then it settled around 250/month. There’s enough variation for there to be an slight trend though that we can’t spot though.
