i think it has more to do with your motivation for writing or putting out chapters in the first place..
if your goal is just "putting chapters out" you dump em and leave em and likely forget about them.
if you are motivated or care enough about your work to make corrections, changes, and proofread to keep things consistent or w/e, you'll probably mull over it more from the start, and be open to your readers pointing out mistakes. if its a huge glaring gamebreaker type mistake you'll want to change it naturally. if its not that big of a deal, you wont.
and like a few people before me have mentioned, if your goal in writing is just to get views and votes, i hardly believe 'editing' is in your vocabulary from the start. you're likely the type to put out whatever garbage you come up with for 15 ~ 50 chapters and if its not reeling in viewers you'll dump the story altogether and start something new (if at all)
tl;dr - it seems the motivation to do better comes from within. unless you're literally writing for a living, where your motivation is "don't want to starve" or "need to pay rent", that strong sort of inborn motivation can't be artificially called upon by casual/hobby writers.
