SpaceX sets VisorSats to each satellite in order to get rid of the problem. It helps reduce the magnitude of the flare enough that it would be tricky to see them with the naked eye. But if the numbers are correct, even standard birdwatching binoculars would still register Starlink satellites, and considering ground-based astronomy uses telescopes to look at dim objects over large durations of time, there still is a problem.
