Dear Top 20 Steem Witnesses, Why are you powering down ?

Hey all, Like what the title said, I've been going thru the witness list and adjusting my votes then I started to realize that MOST of the top 20 witnesses are powering down.

Is there something which you know that we don't?

As part of the community, I felt that its pretty concerning that most of the 20 top witnesses are dropping their stake if it's for a good reason like keeping up with costs of server maintenance and all then we totally understand.

Is it because that you have lost confidence in Steem and the new owners of Steemit Inc?

I'd love to know your thoughts and if it really is because of the new acquisition which is causing the mass power-downs.

Cheers guys and I hope to hear from you. Tagging top 20 to hope to hear your views.
