After they restructured their payments so anyone that RSVPs to a meetup needs to pay $1, I don't think the site will last much longer. They should have fired the person that made that decision.
- distances 7y ago> anyone that RSVPs to a meetup needs to pay $1 Not sure what you mean by this. Article doesn't mention anything like that, and it's definitely not a current feature.
