I burn through the catalogue, me. Musicians, listen to every album, typically in reverse chronological order. Authors, finish the series I started with then read the mist popular series, then the rest of their books in chronological order. Visual artists, I'll sift through in whatever order I can find their works and then loop back to my favorites for closer study. Videogame studios, usually in order from cheapest to most expensive.

MODERATORS
YouTube's algorithm seems to think that if someone watches one video by a creator they've never watched before, that their feed of recommendations should immediately be filled by everything that creator ever made, so unless someone at YouTube made a conscious decision for it to do that, it would suggest that people generally go nuts and watch everything.
The fact I noticed and was annoyed by it suggests I'm the exception rather than the rule.
I like to have some time between books by the same author. This isn't a hard and fast rule, because I'll make an exception if it's a series.
If I have time, I'll check out enough content to make sure. If I'm bored, I'll watch/listen to a lot.
If it's gripping, and I don't get distracted by something else more gripping, I'll burn myself out binging everything. ADHD and OCD might play a role.
I usually burn through it.
binge some and then it spaces out. like watched a bunch of sopranos the next generation today. I do tend to go and watch stuff from way earlier before watching a new thing that popped up.
I space everything out.
I'm autistic and I have ADHD, so it's a bit of a toss up. Sometimes they demand I go through an entire thing in a day. Other times it's years later and I've barely made progress. I never know what I'll get, but it's more likely to be the latter if there's more content. When there's a long backlog my brain tends to check out earlier because it's too busy focusing on everything I haven't done yet.
