That comment was not specifically about Datadog. Datadog is a pretty good service so they will survive, as long as they don't go ballistic with their prices.

In general, someone will have to take a haircut in order to keep stock prices up. Either it will be execs, or customers, or employees.

The first shot is always fired at employees with layoffs. Next shot is fired at customers with raised prices. Last shot is a tussle among the execs (yes, even execs have hierarchies among themselves)
