WEEK 20

If you wonder why I jumped to week 20, when lastly the post was about week 6, here is why. I decided to follow the change @weeklytops also made and we will use the calendar weeks.

If you remember last Friday I did not announce the winner, because of the issues in the Threads caused by the massive traffic. Some communities lost their polls, they vanished, there were complains about logging, voting and our authors got only four votes. I wasn't sure how many failed to vote and took a decision to redo the poll with the same nominees. Now we have 15 votes, thank you to all who cast they votes!

Now, the curious part. When there were four votes, the winners were two with equal weight. Now with 15 votes, we have same two winners. Congratulations @friendlymoose and @stresskiller! You are 30% beneficiary each of this post.

Before I announce the new nominees who will fight to become Bird of the Week, some update on the polls.

To vote in the polls, you have to log in leofinance.io. Remember that alpha.leofinance.io is no longer the UI for the Threads and the polls. I hope that this week you will have no problems to access the poll and support your favourite author.

The poll is open till midnight PST on Sunday. After that the winners of all communities who take part in this initiative will be announced by @weeklytops.
Have a look who are the #topauthors of the last week - Authors of the week! | Week 19 presented by @weeklytops. There you can find all the communities who are involved in Author of the Week initiative.
Next Friday together with the new nominees, I will also give the results of our poll. The winner will be set for 60% beneficiary. Ocd, blocktrades, theycallmedan and leofinance will vote on Fridays posts, so you can guess that the winner will get a handsome reward.

And now our nominees are:
