The Nature of Patreon (Patreon)

So I had a Patron actually ask me yesterday, if I planned to start releasing more chapters once the backlog is big enough, because there's no point to having a backlog of more than 30, it's not anymore enticing at all and the advertising improvement of releasing 3 chapters a week publicly would be very beneficial.

And I was like "I'd love to switch to releasing 3 publics a week, but that'd be a real spit in the face to Patrons. Respecting them is important to me."

And he was like "I don't think so."

So here's a question, is the patreon getting more ahead actually that important? Or would it just being several months ahead eternally be enough?

Because I know for a fact, from a marketing perspective, that it being 30 chapters (10 weeks at 3 chapters ahead) and 50 chapters, isn't different.

Either way, the amount of content being released wouldn't change, just when the public gets it.
