If Destiny 2 had episodic content (ramblings) (Destiny)

Does anyone recall Spartan Ops from Halo 4?

Content wise it wasn't very good or memorable, but the concept was interesting. What it was, is a new story mission to download once a week for about 8 weeks (I think). After that, you could play the content as you saw fit.

I think Destiny 2 could benefit from something like that for DLC missions and\strikes.

(For the record, I don't count "events" like SRL or Festival of the lost in the same vein, and I'm not saying they should do away with that kind of thing by any means)

Hear me out-

Whenever a new expansion launched for Destiny, there is a mad scramble by some of you lunatics to rush-rush-rush to level up and do the Raid or whatever the end thing is. Frankly, I think that's boring and short sighted. You don't savor the content. Then you feel empty. If you have the time to do that, and you want to, more power to you. Most of us don't have that time. I am that 50% that didn't do the Raids. I only ever finished VoG and Crota.

Netflix.
There are two kinds of people with netflix

1.) The kind that binge a series in a weekend (stranger things, for example)
2.) The kind that stagger it out on their own or that are forced to wait for the next episode.

If Destiny 2 had content or DLC that was like that, I think it would be better overall for the life of the game. Destiny already does a lot to artificially throttle players anyway... why not be upfront about it with this?

I know there are some of you that knee-jerk reaction to this and say "NO, I PAID FOR THIS CONTENT AND I WANT IT NOW F-YOU" and you are not wrong to say that, but maybe it would be better long term.

IDK, just musing.
