>computationally prohibitive

yup it'd be a nightmare :)

I'm not sure if you could even sell users with large clusters... as the only way to generate a large cluster would be to generate more fake users around that cluster. So you'd have a large cluster of fake users. That or make good content that people cluster around... but then again that isn't gaming the system, just putting content next to people that want it.

Oh no, people are very predictable, especially at the median. Getting a reddit account to a high karma score is trivially easy, and getting to the center of a dense cluster in relative networked karma system would be similarly easy.
