Correction to: Humanities and Social Sciences Communications https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-022-01423-x, published online 18 November 2022.
The following errors have been corrected in the published article.
The introduction originally stated:
From over 8847 million visits, we analyze 10 million visits from the month before the experiments and use these data in conjunction with a comprehensive list of news websites and machine learning algorithms to construct the measures of (ideologically like-minded) prior news consumption (see SI B.2).
This has been amended to the following to state the correct number of visits:
From over 88 million visits, we analyze 10 million visits from the month before the experiments and use these data in conjunction with a comprehensive list of news websites and machine learning algorithms to construct the measures of (ideologically like-minded) prior news consumption (see SI B.2).
The acknowledgements mistakenly included reference to Pablo Barbera and Andy Guess as having provided writing assistance.
