A few weeks ago I noticed I am now prompted to purchase Meetup+ to be able to message members, see who is attending an event, or join a waitlist. None of several other Meetup users I spoke to had this paywall sprung on them. I don't know what is exactly it was that made them profile me, but it appears they are now using exploitative online dating tactics to fund the app. Shameful. No one cares about male loneliness. They only care how they can profit from it.
