I assume they all have costs to cover and maybe powering down is the only option for some. I pick my witnesses for the good I see them doing for Hive. I don't judge people generally for powering down if they also do some good.

Yes I also vote on contribution, but I think if I'm powering up and keeping most of my Hive powered up I just apply the same standards to others!
Some of these witnesses have sold off hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Steem and Hive over the years. I kind of expect more of a long term view from them!

You have the right to remove your votes. And you’ve communicated your reasoning clearly and professionally so thank you for that as well. I feel a lot of emotion from your post. It maybe helpful if witnesses were present to speak to some of their costs. This is, of course, an open platform. Investors are going to want to know what’s going on with their money. And like you they may act accordingly.
I don't think keeping half, or even 20% of what you earn powered up is much to ask, honestly!

I normally hear this type of response before a meeting. The information relayed during discussions normally alleys people’s concerns. The value you mentioned doesn’t seem a lot to keep powered up, however.
Most of the time perception is king. The appearance that witnesses aren’t investing their earnings on the project they build isn’t favorable. However we don’t know their side yet if ever.
Fair enough. A lot of the witnesses don't post much, so we don't know their motivations. Support those you think deserve it.
