    but it’s being done for profit, not for undeveloped areas.

    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”?

          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.

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

              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.

                  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.

      Providing a service for a price is not the problematic part.
      The problem with serial killers isn’t that they want money in exchange, either.

          Oh it does, despite you not understanding it. The point is that even though someone does something for money, that does not mean what they do is not harmful.

          And before you ask say this does not have to do anything with this topic, the reason I said that, is that I think what spacex is doing here is harmful.

            The point is that even though someone does something fun money, that does not mean what they do is not harmful.

            Who said it wasn’t? You’re arguing against a point nobody made.

              In your “this is such a lemmy comment” reply you sounded to be condeming the other user for their anti-spacex opinion.

              Also, I’ve fixed a typo in my previous comment, in the part of it that you have quoted. The quote is fine, just telling it in case it has caused misunderstanding.

                Their opinion seemed to be a combination of hatred for capitalism and Elon Musk, and they came off to me as being grasping at straws to justify that opinion.
