It is actually sickly fascinating, in the way that people genuinely do not believe how bad the problem is and how absolutely localized the worst of the operations are. I just did the first full spam run with 24 hours of having geoblocking on and compared it to last Saturday (since there are absolutely weekly patterns): last week 69% accounts created were spam, this week it was 19%. And 2/3rds of that 19% were actually IPs from one of those 7 countries, just not flagged as such in our intermediary's geolocation database: it would have been 6% if their db were more accurate.
