... is gonna get on my ****ing nerves. While I realize these are not the first low orbit satellites it seems that these are extremely bright and form a chain which are extremely eye catching and, IMO, take away from the night's sky.

I took this photo about 2 hours ago.

I thought they put some sort of non reflective stuff on the newer launches due to complaints. Seen this photo many times from others as well.

I only see 2 in your photo. The 1st set of 60 (?) were all in a line but they were supposed to spread out.
As a side note, has anyone tried them out? I'm on satellite here and my current provider is slow and expensive.

I think you are looking at the bottom right or perhaps the far left? Look in the dead center... 8 dots.

Asian companies are working on low earth orbit displays, like advertising and "meteor showers" for special occasions. Great.

Yup... pollution of the night sky bothers me. I wasn't even looking at the sky when I saw this. I walked outside to grab something from my vehicle when my brain insisted something was wrong with the sky (or different) which made me look.

If it is bright and intrusive enough for my brain to register it... it is going to bother me.
