Add configurable cap of per-user links #23

Closed milo-trujillo closed 5 years ago

milo-trujillo commented 5 years ago

We occasionally run into a particularly popular user that retweets tens or hundreds of thousands of users, which dominates the social graph space and makes data collection take an inordinate amount of time. This may be undesired behavior. We should add a flag so the user can specify a per-user limit, and we halt data collection after finding, for example, 300 unique retweeted users for a single account history.
