If you have a meetup account and sign in, every time you go to see anyone's profile now, unless you've attended a meetup with them before, their image is by default blurred. When you click to view their profile, you are presented a modal box nagging you to pay. That's pretty annoying.
As for funding, the site has existed for 15 years with all the functionality they took away operating for free. They would collect revenue from organizers. Not sure why they want everyone now to fork over $10 a month to not be nagged
I've never visited someone's profile on meetup, that's not core functionality. I don't think collecting revenue from organizers is ideal, if anything they should be rewarded.
