This is from Nov-28-2017 but I think think the analysis is still good. Meetup made some significant changes to their interface recently that have let to a lot of dissatisfaction and complaints from organizers complaining[1], I think these date from a regime where the focus was on growing attendees. I agree with this analysis that they will start to focus much more on organizer satisfaction because it's the organizer who determines meetup locations and WeWork wants to see these in WeWork facilities to introduce attendees to their offering.

- donretag 9y agoNothing new when it comes to Meetup. They did another major redesign several years ago, and organizers were furious. They encouraged organizers to file tickets in their ticketing system and vote on the ones they want. The top five tickets were all marked as "Will not do" by Meetup. I gave up being an organizer. Facebook does not work for tech groups. LinkedIn is supposedly bringing back Groups. Skeptical, but anything should be better than Meetup.
