Immortality is not much fun if you are in perpetual pain.
If you condition on your own survival without cryo, there is an increased chance of most of the survival probability mass coming from scenarios where you are kept alive unpleasantly.
Also, you might place some stead in “subjective” survival, and some in total survival measure.

To bad about all those people who lived before cryo. I guess they all have at least a few world paths where they are in...hell?
I think that, like Schrodinger’s Cat was originally posited as a thought experiment to show that there is something wrong with the Copenhagen interpretation of a wave collapse; Quantum Immortality was originally posited as a thought experiment to suggest that there is something intuitively wrong with the many worlds interpretation of QM. I know MW is very popular here, but personally I don’t find any interpretation of QM to be meaningful. The only thing we know is that the standard model makes accurate predictions. But that is another debate.

Interesting arguments. Thank you.
no problem!
