Fast loading all URL previews in a deeply quoted note, each with YouTube links

Nice DDoS vector tho

We must break things in order to fix them ๐Ÿ”ฅ

A user's note was crashing my Amethyst. As soon as I scrolled my feed beyond a couple notes, the offending note loaded. I was able to copy it's noteID before my client crashed. I created a new note with that noteID embedded. That immediately crashed my Amethyst. I was not thinking clearly and was wanting to talk about my pain point. So I shared it. My Amethyst then wouldn't load because when it opened to the home feed it would crash. Next, everyone that viewed my note had their Amethyst crash too. ๐Ÿ‘€

The offending note is a quote thread of the user quoting over and over and over again different YouTube videos. The video previews are perhaps too much to load into memory.
