But... but... where are the numbers? (Destiny)

I guess my question for you is: Do you consider TDB and HoW "substantial"? Personally, I don't. In a hypothetical world (all any of us are talking about are hypotheticals at this point), I would prefer a situation where we get a steady tricky of good, free content up until the next major paid release (let's assume that comes 1 year from now).

That's the thing though. I agree that they weren't substantial. TTK is the standard now for substantial. TTK was priced much higher, because substantial content requires more effort. It took a long time to develop. So how are they going to keep that standard with the money they get from this? They can't. Therefore, we will be getting more TDB instead of more TTK. Trickling content never produces the critical mass necessary to really make it worthwhile.

I would prefer that over the year 1 model of waiting up to 6 months with nothing new, paying $20 and getting a small batch of new content that is mixed quality at best. You?

I would rather pay 40 or more dollars every six months to get something on the level of TTK.

Specifically this:

So how are they going to keep that standard with the money they get from this?

I don't know how they're going to keep the standard with the money they get from this, BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'LL GET FROM THIS. They MAY get a ton more money, they MAY get less. If they get less, then I would understand if the quality suffered. But until we establish that, you're merely making assumptions about a business you're not involved in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
