I prefer to wait for an entire season to be released and binge watch it in one or two sittings. Most shows only get 10 episodes these days, and they tend to be highly serialized, so there's less catching up to do / remembering what happened last.

Only drawback is I have to avoid spoilers and can't do episode discussions until everyone else has already moved on.

It really depends on the show, as some are better suited to binge watching than others. Season 2 of Severance is an example of one recently that suffered quite badly from its staggered release, because the story and setting jumped all over the place and the length of episodes was also quite inconsistent.

What I particularly don't like is the bait release schedule, where they frontload a show with a lot of action and release 2 - 4 episodes in a block, then drip feed the rest with glacial pacing to farm subscriptions.
