I was able to talk my org into leaving Meetup for the same reasons. It's just progressively getting worse, advertising to our users while simultaneously raising fees. Removing the ability to sync calendars. They also won't give us the email addresses of any of our users unless we upgrade to "pro" (for an additional fee, of course), and even then, only the ones who RSVP to our events.
Raising fees is one thing, but doing so while removing features and adding just blatant irrelevant advertisements aint gonna work for me.
