I refuse to use Meetup primarily because how much they charge per month for a webpage and a minuscule email list. And their "just pass the costs on to the people attending" is farcical. There's non-profit and free groups I would definitely run. I was offered one such IoT meetup. Again cause of the $15/mo (which I couldn't at the time afford) that group died. These days, I just ignore Meetup. Let something better come in instead.
