Meetup is now owned by Bending Spoons, who have also enshittified wetransfer, Evernote, eventbrite, AOL, vimeo. They buy decent products that never exploded to ipo status, fire everyone and milk the rest for whatever they can charge.

Ironic that they named themselves on a plot about breaking out of a cycle of control, classic Palantir or Anduril vibes too of like “haha movies good where stonks”

Why does one company need to own meetup *and* eventbrite? Is that not a monopoly? How does it not violate any anti-trust laws? Edit to add: how long before we see a fediverse events app?
