The pollution of the night sky with tens of thousands of satellites to provide a paid service. I only mention paid in there because I do think if it was free then at least it could be explained as a common good - but this isn't it, it's the opposite of a common good - it takes a resource available for ALL humans on Earth to make money for an American billionaire.

>>If someone else did this would it be fine?

No it wouldn't, I would be equally upset at any other constellations like this.
