Like you said, all my friends and family can afford it, but there is a psychological barrier to adding yet another subscription service when they already have multiple. You could switch around, but that is also a hassle.

It is far less of a hassle than it was with cable/satellite companies.
For example, I go to TV app on my phone or laptop or Apple TV. Search for what I want. Pay for it, and if it is a subscription, then go back to list of subscriptions and then cancel.
If it is Netflix, then you might have to do this in a browser since they do not cooperate with Apple.
Not sure how much easier people want it to get. I will gladly take this method of paying and watching for media than anything I experienced in previous years.

I agree with you 100 percent that it’s not too hard. But even smallest bumps tend to discourage people. I’ve gotten people to switch/ subscribe for a month couple of times but I had to make a very strong recommendation of a series.
