hey aalternate575,
please take the time and write your formatted code in your forum post. It is often difficult to decipher things in images.
To your problem:
I guess you used the example from discordpy
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html
While copying, you made one mistake, startswith('h$hello') should be startswith('$hello').
best
