And meetups cost a ton of money. I think I'm paying $90/6months for a glorified email list. I need to cancel my account today before it renews again.

  You are paying $90/6 months for marketing my friend. Without it, unless you are well connected, you will have to spend a lot of hours hustling to get people to attend your meetup. A Google Search ad is a glorified <p> tag, but they make a lot of money from it!

    Facebook offers much the same thing for "free" though.

      facebook hides your updates and makes you pay for "discoverability" and "audience" once you get a decent size group.

  Meetup is a bit of a funny business in that regard (though they're not the only ones). Their pricing isn't even in the noise for most companies using them but it's non-trivial for an individual or volunteer organization that's not getting compensated in any way.
