Hmmm I had a bit of a thought and did some quick and dirty research on taptastic looking at some of the most popular.
The following is what I found
ERMA: https://tapastic.com/series/Erma
4.5m views / 12k subs
GhostBlade: https://tapastic.com/series/GhostBlade
1.5m views / 26.7k subs
Kickstarter vol1 : 12k Kickstarter vol2 : 10k
Countdown to Countdown: https://tapastic.com/series/Countdown
1.6m views / 31.4k subs
Lichman: https://tapastic.com/series/SteveLichman
Free epiodes as teasers only
'Only' 181k views / 5k subs in comparison. Not main platform, only one of many.
Kickstarters 1 : over 100k, Kickstarter vol 2L over 200k!
I actually discovered Taptastic through WLop's dA. He also has a Patreon. He is a good model to look at for the distributed wide model for something intended fully for web I think. Also, he updated his taptastic VERY infrequently, and still got that many hits and it was his main platform.
I think it's interesting to note the difference in kickstarter amounts between Lichman and Wlop (didn't look into the others). It makes sense that fewer people would want to buy a kickstarter for something they have already read online.
So I would say either tease to build audience and kickstart the full thing, or go whole hog on doing it online but don't necessarily expect much from a kickstarter. WLop has a healthy Patreon which I suspect he got a lot from his Taptastic subs as well as everywhere else.
General rule is though, spam the f*(C out of everywhere it seems.
