Of course cell towers are an eye sore. Though they are more necessary than starlink, often hidden by landscape or on top of buildings anyway. It’s not the “gotcha” comparison you think it is.
Perhaps necessary was the wrong word, though I don’t know if starlink supports the same bands the towers already do for 2G, 3G, 4G etc. They don’t obstruct our skies, so that’s much preferable.
Starlink sats are only visible to the naked eye when they’ve just launched, once in orbit they’re only a problem for ground based optical astronomy, and even then it doesn’t seem to be as much of a problem as everyone makes out.
I get that you probably hate Musk, but a lot of the points you’re making are just nonsense.
This is such a Lemmy comment, there’s nothing evil about providing a service for a price.
Not on its own. Polluting the skies for profit is the problem. Why the cherry picking though?
Do you also think cell towers are “polluting the landscape”?

Why are they more necessary? They both do the same job.

Ahhh so it is about Musk and you are a fan. I wont engage anymore, have a good one.
Where did I say I was a fan of him?
You’re making judgement calls about the technology because you hate the owner of the company, which is kinda sad.
What’s evil is what that incentivizes. It’s not solving problems but building profit.
