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.)
