These aren't visible to human naked eye. Just try and go see them. They already cover the sky in a grid with one of them above the horizon everywhere at all times but just with low density at the moment. I've tried several times and they are not visible.

This isn't littering. These are controlled satellites that can be de-orbited at will at any time (and several have been already that had some technical problems with them).
