Comment on The enshitification of Meetup.com
elephantium@lemmy.world 1 week agoLooking at the post, it’s $345 for commuters – or about $70 per meal.
For people staying in the accommodations, it’s about $210 per night.
Overall, that seems expensive for a camping trip on Meetup.

Oh I see, I misread thank you for the correction

Yeah, basically you’d have to cut those figures down to 1/4 of what they are before I’d consider them reasonable.
I do agree with you in principle – if the organizer is feeding everyone, it’s only decent to pitch in a few bucks to cover the groceries.

I suppose they are also offering some kind of guided meditation as well as meals? I mean yeah it sort of sounds expensive, but also you do have designer handbags and jewellery that gets ridiculous prices.
Anyway yeah I stopped doing meetup for a long time and absolutely detest SAAS business models of alot of digital vendors too.
