I see that as a good thing! It's long past time for Steemit Witnesses like @themarkymark to be removed because they have turned Steemit into nothing more than a cesspool of fraud and corruption, stealing money from the vast majority of Steemit members while at the same time filling their own greedy pockets.
The day that the last Steemit Witness is removed will be the first day of Steemit's rebirth...and a new beginning. The only problem I see is that Steemit Witnesses have not had their Steem Accounts forfeited, and the money they stole returned to its rightful owners...the Steemit community.
Since I dislike TheDouchyDouche a lot too, he is the only one of the top 20 I didn't cast a witness vote. You can still help Steem by voting the other witnesses and just leaving him out.
I would also like for you to take a look in a suggestion I published regarding Steem administration and tell me what you think.
Proxy-delegation refers to setting another account to cast witness votes for you. But for it to work it still needs for the active account to whom the voting power was delegated to keep renewing it's votes. The idea is to end voting power from chained accounts without an active voter at the end, but it doesn't need to require renewal of the whole chain, just the voter at the end of it.
Another reason why I think witness votes should expire.
