Meetup recently has suffered from some backlash to some new pricing models is proposed. They have since backpedaled but for many, the damage has already been done and the trust has been damaged. This comes two years after Meetup made some changes that made it significantly worse for organisers to manage their communities as well as being taken over by WeWork who are currently facing financial difficulties — something many has suggested as the reason for exploring new profitability strategies with Meetup.com. Following Meetup rescinding their proposed payment model I have since received an email informing me that my organiser subscription will be increasing from $14.99/month to $16.49/month.
