not exactly. many starlink users are not your grandpa in his $500k RV. it's the digital nomad in their $5k RV held together by duct tape. some of us would do anything to get away from all the bullshit of modern society, and quite frankly i think the world needs more of us.
I was being sarcastic. I simply don't believe that there's enough money to be made selling satellite internet to support replacing a large constellation of satellites every 5 years. Especially since Starlink's competitors use higher up satellites, meaning they don't have to replace their satellites as often.
