Maybe the topics were too trend related. I can assure you that emacs / clojure / haskell meetups I attended were nothing but great times. Good crowd, some famous guys, 99.99% interesting talks.

I agree. The Boulder Ruby meetup (which I help run) has what I'd consider to be a great community and the talks are definitely not ads.

But I could see how some of the meetups that I am a 'member' of but don't attend regularly could be vendor driven.
