That information wasn’t in the video. The guy was basically deepthroating Starlink the whole video.

It’s not really major news because the report is inaccurate and they are not dying at any abnormal rate at the moment. The only news is that one website is having issues updating their data and can temporarily display misleading information.

Woah, that vid has 2 minutes of initial intro/sponsor crap.
Ltdw Besides he just reads two articles saying that the failure rate is alarming, cause unknown but also the userbase is over 2 milion people, and doubled since January 2023 where it was around 1 milion. A life expectancy of the satellites are 5 years, so the early editions launched in 2019 should still be operational.
He also said that June magnetic storm they hit the satellites caused 100 milion loss with 40 satellites burned. As there are 5000 starlinks in orbit already, their cost estimates for 11,12 billion USD.
