WeWork-owned Meetup confirms restructuring, layoffs

Meetup has gone from a place where you could actually find people who shared your interests and to develop long-term friendships, to a place where lonely singles try to find love or a one-night stand, or you can go to "profesional tech meetups" where companies try to hire you under the guise of sharing interesting tech experiences.

Does anyone have better alternatives to meetup? Apart from the salesy events I still find plently of good events. I use it for pickup tennis games, hiking groups and the off data science meetup.

After they restructured their payments so anyone that RSVPs to a meetup needs to pay $1, I don't think the site will last much longer. They should have fired the person that made that decision.
