You don’t know what you’re talking about, the satellites do “reasonably” boost themselves, they have propulsion on board.
After 5 years yes they trash them, but that nots not cost prohibitive for SpaceX. Starlink is brining in a significant amount of money, and it doesn’t cost SpaceX all that much to launch a new batch to replace the old. You all seem to forget they are the cheapest and most impressive launch company to date.
What you and nobody else seems to understand is that every year SpaceX is launching more and more rockets and they will only continue to increase their launch cadence. In the next one or two years, they will start using Starship for Starlink launches, and that will significantly increase the amount of bandwidth they can add to the network per lanch.
I’m sure I’ll get hate because I’m defending an elon company but everyone here is plain wrong and just making shit up.

If you could actually dispute it without insulting the author then I would consider your input. But you can’t, because the facts are correct.

I don’t see anywhere where you did actually. Even tried to find another comment on your profile. Would you mind linking that for me?
Thanks

Yeah that’s super weird. Maybe some weird federation behavior. I’ll probably reply to that comment sometime tomorrow
