You keep forgetting that Vertex deals with link farms.

1. Vertex does not dumbly crawl all events, builds a graph and computes Pagerank. It crawls based on hard to fake internal metrics. A person can include only a few bots, and those bots can't include others. It takes a week to even being able to add a few bots from the moment one got included.

2. Vertex computed acyclic Pagerank, so the classical "I follow you, you follow me" strategy is nullified. Walks can't be acyclic.

3. Vertex supports personalized algorithms as well.

I think this is probably the third time I tell you this. If you want more details about how it works you can check the code.
