The Bakshy et al. study found that individual choice was the larger filter reducing cross-cutting exposure, with algorithmic effects being smaller than user self-selection.
Bakshy et al. (2015) found that both algorithmic ranking and individual choice reduce cross-cutting exposure, but user choice was the larger filter.
The study's own conclusion emphasizes that individual choice dominates algorithmic filtering in determining exposure patterns.
