I created a few bots using IFTTT and had to retire them because I was getting angry emails by people who ran the sites I was posting, asking 'Why is our link in this account?' or 'Why did you tweet about this?' (since it was unofficial and not posted by them, they wanted to be the ones who first posted it)
