Comment on The enshitification of Meetup.com

This has nothing to do with the problem at Meetup
I’ve been running a free Meetup for years
The actual issue is the costs, the shitty photo upload system and the fact that they send all hosts paid events for their own hosting group which can’t be blocked
It’s not enshitification. It has been shit for 8 years at least
There have always been expensive events

I’m an organizer as well, and while the app hasn’t been great, this new level of focus on money is new since the acquisition.

I haven’t seen any difference there honestly.
Nothing has changed. Here in Australia also, pre covid a leader for a hiking group was well known in the community and made racist comments. Reported them, and nothing was done.

Maybe I’ve just been lucky. We’ve also had pretty defined rules in the groups I’ve helped organize for.
