People keep repeating this but I don't think it's true.
My comment is solely sourced on my direct observations on my network, maybe 30-45 minutes in. Everything except a few /24s disappeared from DFZ providers, but I still heard those prefixes from direct peerings. There was no disaggregation that I saw, just the big stuff gone. This was consistent over 5 continents from my viewpoints. Others may have seen different things at different times. I do not run an eyeball so I had no need to continually monitor.

It's probably based on this tweet: https://twitter.com/ryan505/status/1445118376339140618 but that's an aggregate adding up prefix counts from many sessions. The total number of hosts covered by those announcements didn't vary by nearly as much, since to a significant extent it were more specifics (/24) of larger prefixes (e.g. /17) that disappeared, while those /17s stayed. (There were no covering prefixes for WhatsApp's NS addresses so those were completely unreachable from the DFZ.) -- Niels.
