Is there any evidence that this really matters on top of the protections and limits that are already built in and obscured from the user? There's such a cult around this feature, but I'm not convinced.

I don't think so, my point was that there's not only uncertainty in converting the idea to language and language back to an idea, but there's also uncertainty when transferring language from one person to another.

There's also the difference between what you think the words you say mean and what they understand from your words.

Keep it. I still have my uncle on Steam over 8 years later.

Not to mention all the people who don't even have an adblocker and for some reason don't seem to care that their web browsing is infested with ads.

For a second I thought you were talking about masturbation.

Yep, I learned something new today.

That's a fine transformation.

Do you have "Show Read Posts" turned on in the settings?

Not a parent, but I was raised bilingually in English and German, while growing up in Germany.

My Dad (almost) always speaks English with me, and my Mom (almost) always speaks German with me, even to this day at age 31. This approach worked well for us and I'm fluent in both languages, but I can imagine an approach where both parents speak both languages could work as well.

What also really helped me was to consume a lot of media in English, so maybe you could encourage your child to do that as well.
