It's very telling that I came here specifically to write a comment suggesting Organizers band together and file a class action lawsuit and the most recent comment is suggesting the exact same thing.
Groups are failing. RSVPs have plummeted. Emails are not being read/received. It's become impossible to reach group members. It used to be a new group would get the initial boost of 100-300 members the first week after Meetup announced the group to members. Now you're lucky to get 20-30 members. I use unique links for payment in all of my postings. Events are garnering less than 10 clicks over 3 weeks for a group of 1,000 members. I post discount codes and nobody uses them. It's as if members aren't even aware an event has been posted. It's time Organizers demand an explanation. Meetup is not delivering the services they advertise. Things were degrading before the new redesign but now it's in complete failure.
