Why does nobody talk about how many more satellites you can see now compared to just five years ago?

I read a comment online saying a string of Starlink satellites ruined their view of the Andromeda galaxy, which made me realize I'm seeing them almost every clear night from my yard in Cincinnati.

My cousin in rural Montana says the new satellite internet is the only reason her kids can do homework now. That trade-off seems pretty fair to me.

My sister in Wyoming got that same Starlink setup, @adams.vera, and it changed everything for her family too.

Notice how often we hear stories like this from @adams.vera now. It feels like a quiet change happening everywhere, not just in tech news. People in spots the old cables forgot are finally getting a real connection. That's not just about homework, it's about joining the rest of the world for basic stuff. The trade-off seems more than fair, it's necessary. We're slowly fixing a huge gap that was just accepted as normal for way too long.
