That comment doesn't explain anything. It just says: spam? Remove the incentive.
The incentive is money. You can't just wave a magic wand and get rid of the incentive to spam things. Asserting that you can is wishful thinking.
Automation detection and privacy are orthogonal. The ideal bot detector yields a single bit of information: bot or not. It doesn't need to try to de-anonymize users or anything like that. As for UX, well, spam is a bad UX.
