I get why it does it, but I really wish it didn’t automatically count the event host as an rsvp especially lately as the app and site have both been glitching to set your rsvp to yes after you remove it (I didn’t used to have this problem, so not sure why it’s happening now)","offTopic":false},{"id":"5a55f919-1ce2-4cd4-810d-f382fffd4327","excerpt":"GroupMe — Why is this app so popular? — There are countless apps that do what this app does but better.
