I was waiting for the shoe to drop on this.
1) WeWork buys meetup.com for some unknown reason. Starts offering to host meetups at WeWork offices for free as an intro to charging for it.
2) Reports every day that WeWork is losing money hand over fist from their terrible business model
3) Reports that SoftBank is going to start stepping in to try to fix their finances
I figured that it would only be a matter of time with those reports that WeWork would try to wring every possible dollar out of Meetup. It's a bold move for them to give refunds after this change, because a lot of groups will just close. And it's a shame, because it'll probably be a long time before a meetup site is as effective as Meetup.com was
