Interesting idea! It might be vulnerable to spammers, though (fill your
QRT with certain keywords in order to cluster with users who are
interested in those keywords).

I think we should focus on "proven" relationships - for example, X knows
Y in real life, so X trusts Y not to be a spammer even if they don't
share the same taste in files, or X has downloaded good files from Y in
the past, so X trusts Y to have good files even if they might not like
each other in real life!
