In that system how do you create a ranked list of content for a user to browse? Isn't it going to be very heavy on processing demand?

You can do the processing in a worker. Maybe even offload it to the client. If there is a live stream a pretrained machine learning model could be used and it could infear who will like what

Yes, it requires keeping track of how much each user trusts each other user. And then when you rank content for user A, you use the trust table of user A as weights of upvotes.

This is more computationally intensive than sorting by the raw number of upvotes or weight upvotes by karma/popularity.

But I think this is a useful computation - the user can be more confident that the content they is is not astroturfed and comes from trustworthy users.
