$345 to tap Attend. A rediculous event on a local hiking group. We think the owners let it expire, and someone else bought up the group.

For those not aware, Meetup’s leadership has been pushing the “start a business on Meetup” agenda. It’s all downhill from here.

    I’m an organizer as well, and while the app hasn’t been great, this new level of focus on money is new since the acquisition.

      I haven’t seen any difference there honestly.

      Here in Australia also, pre covid a leader for a hiking group was well known in the community and made racist comments. Reported them, and nothing was done.

      I need to get rid of them at this point.

        Maybe I’ve just been lucky. We’ve also had pretty defined rules in the groups I’ve helped organize for.
