> Why would a company like DataDog act like such an asshole to someone they want money from? Because it's a numbers game. These companies scale their cost base and need to make up the difference in more sales. From the sales-person point-of-view, it seems reasonable to reach out to someone and ask if they need X/Y/Z but, of course, it is only reasonable when you don't have 100 other people doing the same thing every day. As others have said, actually sometimes I am looking for X and someone happens to cold call and offer it so I buy it (not me, but some people do). So it works. I do think that there should be some way of opting out though like using the UK's TPS system.
