I'm a strong proponent of fighting light pollution (sky glow is horrible), but I'm totally against people trying to mislabel satellites as light pollution. One of the cool night sky observations you could do was to catch Iridium flares. Also it's completely impossible to determine without looking it up if the satellite you're seeing is a starlink satellite or not. I further doubt that that person is seeing them as those things are 6.5 magnitude which is nigh impossible for a human eye to see. There's LOTS of other satellites, much larger ones. If you go to a dark sky site you see satellites all the time, and I saw plenty before starlink as well.
