I think this is becoming a key question in the Streaming Age. In the “Old” Streaming model, Netflix (then maybe Hulu and Amazon) would market a couple of prestige programs to attract new subscribers, but most of the rest of the content was not marketed offline at all, and was pushed in one way or another to current subscribers to keep them from churning.
Since there is or will be ad-supported levels for most streamers this may incentivize more advertising of more programs, which could help, but With the near collapse of linear television, there is almost no common space anymore for programmers to reach out to TV consumers to advertise/educate. There are so many Streamers that it is impossible for even motivated consumers to keep current on even leading programs at each option, much less hidden gems or guilty pleasures. The environment is ripe for a new kind of comprehensive, credible TV Guide, that provides both easy access to available programming in each streamer and competent reviews, features and interviews. Ideally, this could include something like a Netflix or Amazon algorithm, that would allow you to enter like your ten favorite and least favorite programs and then generate recommendations, across platforms.
