Why would a legitimate 65+ user automatically assume that a countering autovoting bot is needed? That's a bit confusing.
Tim's excellent idea would prevent misuse of stolen accounts and other malicious acts that can negatively impact Steemit.

Misuse of accounts and abuse from over 65 reputation is not that common whereas one person with a downvoting bot could hide every single comment by default on every 65+ reputation user if this update went through. After having a downvoting bot put on me, I see the need for anyone 65+ reputation to avoid having comments hidden by a bot.
I do see it from your perspective but, unsure if you're aware, a second 65+ account was just phished. What would happen if it's your account that's compromised and your reputation is on the line? One wrong click is all it takes man.
