The number of spam connections emerging from China and Russia are huge. For small firms who might not have the expertise or the budget to host things on CloudFlare, wholesale blocking off IP addresses from the two countries results in almost 100% decrease in spam.
I have a VPS which I maintain for myself to experiment with different services, and I do the same. The number of spam attempt to connect on my ssh port went down from around 10k per day to 1 per week.
