+## Project selection
+Like a lot of students in class. I face some trouble while I was looking for the project to contribute. For a larger open source projects I use like node.js, graphQL or database conneciton client robo 3t (studio 3t). The scope is too large and the standard is relatively high. After looking for a lots of open source projects and guideline on how to start, I decide not to contrubted to some tech intensive project because the bar to entry is too high.
+
+Then I look into the more medium to small size project. And I have reach out to different project discord and email to consult which part I could contribute on or have some guideline on how to star. However I didnt get any response after a weeks of waiting. So I decide to select a open source project that I have been using daily that called "return-youtube-dislike".
+
+## Project in itself
+
+The project I selected is called "return-youtube-dislike". Return YouTube Dislike is an open-source browser extension designed to restore the YouTube dislike count, available as a Web Extension for Chrome and Firefox and as a JavaScript Userscript for other browsers. This tool emerged following Google’s announcement on November 10, 2021, to remove the YouTube dislike count, a change implemented on December 13, 2021, when the dislike field was also removed from the YouTube API. This removal made it impossible to assess content quality before watching. In response, the extension uses a backend system that combines scraped dislike statistics and estimates derived from user data to provide an approximation of the original dislike count.
+
+Personally I think the ability to instantly distinguish the quality of a video via the vote of online users are very important. It can save other users time to decide whether or not the video is a "click-bait" or is the video worth watching. The decision of not displaying "dislike" count is probaly a commercial decision to continue to have advertisement on all video and hide the dislike to the advertising company.

+## Conclusion
+Contributing to "Return YouTube Dislike" is an insightful and rewarding experience. Even though it is hard at first to find a good project and get replies from open-source communities, choosing a project I use every day makes it easier and more meaningful. Adding Chinese translations to key documents helps make the project easier to use for more people and supports the open-source idea of sharing and helping others.
+
+This experience helps me understand open-source contributions better, from choosing a project to making useful changes. By breaking language barriers, I aim to encourage more Chinese-speaking users and developers to join and support the project and the open-source community.
