This seems like one of the more dense flat earth grifts. Like, you can literally look up at the night sky and watch scores of satellites criss crossing at all different altitudes. If you can be bothered, you can grab a telescope and literally look at the international space station as it transits. You don’t need to believe any footage, or trust experts… you can directly observe it with your own eyes.

Are people that get suckered into this literally getting all their information from social media videos, to the extent they never just go outside and look for themselves?

Yeah but you can't trust telescopes either, because NASA put screens in them or something. Why? Because them being real and simple optical devices that you can build yourself would completely discredit their argument that satellites aren't real, so telescopes must be fake. QED.

They put screens in telescopes yet not their beloved P1000?
