I find the opposite is true. Really niche meetups are a great way to make sure no one attends except for you and that other person you know. EDIT: I find it works best if the meetup group topic is really broad. Then you plan specific meetups with narrow topics that indulge your interest. That way you have a very diverse group of attendees to pull from. Of course, things may vary depending on region. In places like Silicon Valley, maybe it benefits you to have more niche meetup groups.
