$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.

    Wow, just saw that. You can still the list, and tap on each to see pictures, but wow. And you can pay for waitlist placement. Ugh.

      As a participant, if there are over a certain number of participants it tells me I have to pay to see the rest.

      TBH it’s been going downhill for the last couple years since they made groups pay a yearly (I think) fee. There used to be all kinds of fun free groups but it’s slowly becoming only sponsored groups or pay to attend meetups.
