Meetup is literally cancer. They operate like a ponzi scheme. You have to ask someone in your group to pay to continue the group (even if you just want to end things) in order to step down, & you have to ask for permission via email to step down before they will stop charging you. I have thankfully been able to block all future charges for free & with with very little effort, CashApp is fantastic in that regard. I can't believe this site is such a big name & so mainstream & operates this way. Lots of 1 star ratings with the BBB & they just got one more.

Their search UI and search relevance are horrid as well. Account restrictions if you use alternative email providers as a cherry on top.

Low competition bar for Flockstr as long as the core functionality works, with good UX.
