Thanks for the event. Loved it and learnt new skill of crochet. Both the host are really helpful.

Love it! very interesting. Amazing host.

I love meetup but....
It is not like it use to be by no means.
One big issue, is trolls pop into meetings.
They masturbate, they show up nude or they just are in there to cause trouble. Many of the organizers are looking at other venues. They are making sure they see that the video is on, so they can boot them off but that is not fixing everything.
Another issue is virtual meetings should not have mileage limits for locating subject matter.
Some of my RSVP's don't show up in my "going events" so I have to go to all my groups to verify.
I wish I could star my usual or favorites because I have to go through the whole list to find ones that I want to go to.

It has become so expensive that a lot of groups don't continue.

Aye, perhaps ‘twas the lack o’ a proper Pirate Fest Host that led me to cross paths with Captains from all corners o’ the Seven Seas. Yet truth be told, me finest hours were spent swillin’ grog and makin’ merry with the hearty pirates o’ me own Space Coast Meetup Crew! 🏴‍☠️

A well-spent two and a half hours of incisive, winding philosophical discussion of dizzing and inspiring thoughts. Well worth the time and the intellectual energy.

A safe space to express yourself without being judged

Really well run event with a very kind and considerate host!

They nag you continuously to do a paid subscription and the site doesn't work that well. Their policies hurt people that pay for a group by allowing paid users to jump lines on wait lists whether the people paying for the group agree to it or NOT.

Variety of events to make you go out.

Whomever is responsible for the change in the business model of Meetup should be fired. There were so many other options to choose from than putting up a paywall at exorbitant monthly costs just to RSVP to an event. The beauty of Meet Up was the hyperlocal ability to meet people with shared interests for free. Organizers paid a nominal fee. Today, you can't see the details of the event, or who is attending without paying. In addition, there are ads everywhere. Meet Up officially sucks.

Its all about Badminton Lovers who established itself as the World's Most Loved and the Highest Rated Sports Community on Meetup...each game is the best of the best experience.

Good events with nice hosts. You can find your people.

Meetup does a poor job of testing their User Interface (UI). They recently released a new "better" UI which is so defective that I cannot even succeed at creating a new event. Their Customer support is unresponsive.

Meet ups deny and control what type of group you will offer. For example I set up a TIBETAN bowl Sound group to offer Sound Healing and they denied the group. Here we have a group where people can come spend an hour listen to soothing healing sounds and then leave and meet ups denied this group. Yet they will have online groups or in person groups that meet up in bars or restaurants or talk about how to fight being lonely. At $17 per week people are paying for these groups that rarely offer anything other than meeting up and going for a walk on a trail, picking some weeds, going to a bar… But offer something like TIBETAN Sound Healing and it doesn’t meet their requirement. What a bunch of BS.

Meetup helps me a lot to grow my group and connect with new people; I’m very grateful.

French conversation: friendly group

great possibility for meetings between people
