Calculate out-degree scores

In a retweet network, the out-degree of a user indicates the number of times the user retweets posts.

Users with high out-degree scores are key players who can be used as a medium to retweet promotional posts.

Can you identify users who can be used as a medium to retweet promotional posts for a travel portal?
