How does CloudFlare protect the disease?

Also worth noting that the article specifically mentions how owners of ASNs can subscribe to CloudFlare at no charge to get notified when devices on their network are participating in attacks like this.

I think by treating the symptom they end up making it so that people don't actually do anything of substance in response to these absolutely massive attacks. Just put your site behind Cloudflare, obviously. Problems solved. Why do we need to do anything else?
