Congrats to the winner.
Personally I voted for Pat, I feel like most cows go through a year of sowing, then a year of reaping. This was Nick's year of sowing with the deteriorating professional relationships, complete audience shift, ego death and of course the building of a truly destructive drinking habit.
This isn't to say he hasn't provided some great content this year, It was just my view that the real stuff that would put rekeita into lolcow of the year status would probably come next year when all these things he has set the stage for this year come to fruition. Things like open marriage and family collapse, health issues, paypig leaks etc. You can see this sort of arc perfectly with ralph. Recall that there was one year when the drinking went really out of control, the faith tape dropped and he got abandoned by everyone, but it was the next year, the Chaggot stuff, the kingpin international, the Jim turn, weekly pillstreams, death scares and finally the double Portugal beatdown that he truly ascended to lolcow of the year status.
For me this was Patricks year of reaping, from the criminal record stuff, to the open robe police encounter, to swinging at the cop, finally to paying quasi. Years of sowing as a drunk twitter retard all reaped in real life content this year.
I of course don't mean to cast any feelings of sour grapes, its just to say that if you think this was rekeita's year, at his current trajectory I think people will look back and just see this as the ramp up to his real lolcow year. The Best is Yet to Come as they say.
