Okay Zuckerberg, I’m not in sympathy with your political inclinations anyway and I certainly got sick of receiving stuff your algorithms were convinced I’d like, when the reality was they bored me witless. I’ve been a reluctant subscriber to The Triumph Experience for a couple of years which also doesn’t grab me. It’s too Standard-Triumph model specific, people get upset when they accidentally post to the wrong forum and there has been some disquieting and very discourteous responses and no one seems to be particularly helpful.
