By that, do you mean they can't see the starlink satellites now with their eyes, despite the number of them? Or do you mean that before they didn't see anything and now it is a problem and they are seeing things with their naked eyes?
They've never seen satellites that bright before
That's surprising, given that Iridium flares were a regular occurrence until ~5 years ago.
(They were arguably also one of the most interesting and inspiring phenomena on the sky, too. I miss them.)
