I find it pretty likely that nobody would ever look there.

If true, what should we infer about the policy of having them cluttering up Discussion?

That policy forces everybody to see the meetup announcements, and thus probably increases meetup attendance (and knowing your announcement will have a wide (forced) public encourages people to create meetups).

No, it doesn't. Partially because of the meetup clutter I don't look at the posts page at all and just go straight into comments.

And what is the cost-benefit analysis for forcing everyone to read about meetups all over the globe?
