Where?
That bland statement covers a huge area - it often costs millions to make programmes/series, and there needs to be a return on investment for the programme makers; no one has yet shown a business model that does not require a vast majority of streaming services libraries coming from the existing programme makers (as they have the studios and the back catalogues).
