Did you even read the last sentence?
"Don’t get me wrong, ifttt sounds like an excellent service for those who require it. For what it’s worth, I am not one of those people. At least not at the moment."

Chris, I did read it. But then I don't see why you posted it to HN.

I suppose you'd be in the minority if you found relevance in my specific concerns, or if you found it pertinent to your situation. But I didn't think that should forbid me from posting it.
I can understand why it seems pointless, and I suppose HN was not the best venue.
If you bothered to think or look around a bit, you would notice that some people are already using ifttt for things, which a lot of people might find useful, such as tracking jobs, apartments and flights. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2970550).
If you have no use for something, why blog about it with an undertone implying it has no use for anyone?
Maybe it's not your intention, but this just comes across as taking the mickey out of people's creations just for the heck of it. Just because you've got a blog.
Sometimes, it's best not to say anything. Enjoy the silence while it lasts.
