My go-to analogy for page-rank is using social media.
If you're looking for people to follow, which account would you likely choose someone that has millions of followers versus an account with 3?
What there were 100 people, all with over 1 million of followers and most of them followed 1 account? Surely that 1 account must be a high quality account, because popular/important accounts follow it.
