This is a YouTube video titled "The Rise of Meetup Alternatives - Taking Control of Your Event Experience" containing a monologue or single-speaker discussion recorded in June 2024. The speaker talks about creating an alternative to Meetup due to unpopular pricing changes when Meetup was owned by WeWork, focusing on event management and user experience.

Um, so it was a meet. Meetup alternative. Um, and it was because I was running a meetup here in Indianapolis, and This was when Meetup was owned by WeWork. And they were going to do something very strange. They were going to try to charge free users $2 to RSVP to free events. They were calling it a pricing test. It was clearly a way to try to get more money out of users. And I was like, that's lame. So I started an alternative. Um, yeah.
