If others didn't take direct action [on their own back] this could well have been the 'biggest DDoS attack in known [and unknown] history'. Cloudflare would have melted. Yes 300GBs is a lot of traffic, especially if it is all aimed at you and you do not have the capacity.
To say 300GBs can slow the Internet down and almost break it is laughable, sensationalist FUD and spun by Cloudflare.
Cloudflare have zero control over what comes out of ISPs networks, in the end it was down to the ISPs to mitigate these attacks.
