I think a lot of non-tech events like D&D/running/board games/birdwatching/crafts/etc. now have left Meetup or never were there. I see a lot of these types of events promoted on Instagram and sometimes Facebook, because there's a bigger audience there. There are still some on my local Meetup, though.

I also sometimes see Zoom events, especially tech and business-oriented ones, where I frankly wonder if the live videoconferencing format is ideal or just an imitation of what people used to do in person. It's possible that podcasts and YouTube have eaten a lot of this market if people aren't going to get together in person.

Perhaps that's why I no longer see them, I've deleted most of my social media so I don't have access to FB or IG for events.
