It doesn't seem that abusive. I don't comment things out thinking "this will keep robots from reading this".

The article mentions using this as a means of detecting bots, not as a complaint that it's abusive.

EDIT: I was chastised, here's the original text of my comment: Did you read the article or just the title? They aren't claiming it's abusive. They're saying it's a viable signal to detect and ban bots.

Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".[1]
