Same here. I have not publicised or updated my korea.services.net DNSBL
for over a decade and it's still getting over 100 qps.

Hi,
Also keep in mind that "most blocklists" is meaningless. Any moron can
run a blocklist, and many morons do. The vast majority of blockists
are used by close to nobody, and only a handful are widely enough used
to matter.
This moron ran a per-country/per-as blocklist in the early 2000s which
was based on a DFZ BGP feed. I closed it off more than 10 years ago.
I just checked and I'm still receiving ~5 queries per second.
As per my anecdotal evidence, there are some really clueless operators
out there as well. There is, of course, the temptation to just add
a wildcard A record... But nah, I don't like hot places.
The other side-effect is that spammers are still very eager to use my
domain in their from: headers, judging by the amount of undeliverables
I receive (in waves).
That's generally because they pick the To and From addresses in the spam
from the same dusty spam lists.
