Tell HN: Meetup.com is offering abandoned meetups to anyone willing to pay
I am a multiple meetup organizer and owner on meetup.com and I find it actually great that the meetup can stay alive if the organizer stop to pay.
Your communities are not owned by you.
Also, they don't give subscribers infos but just "an access" to send them email communication to the list, not the "list" with email list etc...
