How do?
Assuming you meant how so. I can comment to that. Stuff like you have to pay as an attendee for things that used to be free, like to see who's attending, it costs a lot to run a group now (something like $200 per year?), and they pop up with ads/offers after many kinds of interactions like RSVPing
I did mean "how so", haha. Thanks. I haven't used meetup since the pandemic, so all this is somewhat disheartening news.
