If a meetup is not even worth $2 to attend, is it really worth an hour+ of your personal time?

- joe_the_user 7y agoHow could someone pay even $2 for a meetup they've never attended? How would they know that someone would even show up? Especially if the organizer is now only paying $2/month to keep it going. And once someone has attended a meetup, they're exchanged contact info with the organizer and so there's reason they'd have to pay meetup to attend the event.
- robbiemitchell 7y agoIt doesn't work that way in practice. People use Meetup because it handles everything from reservations to ticketing to email announcements to messages boards and things in between. A mailing list is not a replacement.

- Santoshpanda 7y agoI believe each group has unique power due to its efforts in building a group, growing, and nurturing members. With this pricing, Meetup is closing the door to free network effect and not letting the host benefit from own efforts.
