Like I said, proper DLC is closer to expacs, and I have no problems with those. I mean, Steam lists Gods and Kings and Brave New World as DLC for civilization 5, but they're practically the exact same thing as the Yuri's Revenge expansion pack I bought for Red Alert 2 15 years ago. Actual massive expansions to the original game that significantly change the way you play the game.
I can't think of any story DLC for a retail game that was also day one
Now that I've watched the video, I'll say that I mostly agree. There are a lot of games coming out, probably more games than most people have time to play. It is definitely possible to steer clear of titles that are bursting at the seams with DLC, and still have access to a large amount of games to play. Most of the games I have bought this year and last year have been mostly self-contained without a need for DLC to complete the experience. Then again, I have bought several complete/goty bundles, so there's that.
