The people most likely to spend $$$ to read ahead are these same people and you are 100% correct that they drive momentum. For myself I know when I read a story with a high release rate and then the release rate dips, it is hard to keep with up a story. I will wait awhile to binge it again, since it is frustrating not to have more chapters. This is even more true for Patreon. Authors are like drug dealers and the drug of choice is chapters. I personally don't think it is ever possible for a single author to outpace demand for more chapters over a long period of time.

Depends on what you want and what you'll accept as success.

I got a solid following posting once a week, but I also was expecting nothing.

I've given up schedules all together. They were hurting my story and made me miserable. It's already trash enough without that.
