Please Explain The Whole YouTube Ordeal?

I Honestly Don't Know Exactly How To Make Money From YouTube. Is It Views? Views And Likes? Can Someone Please Explain It To Me Please?

It's your total amount of watch time I believe.

There are several ways to go about it. The way I think you are referring to is adsense/adwords and that relies on how many viewers actually see the ads placed on your videos when you monetize them.

This I believe is affected by things like adblocker which prevents such ads from playing.

You make money from YouTube by giving YouTube permission to monetize your channel. They will show ads from time to time to your audience and you get a percentage of that advertising revenue.

In the "classic" way you get money for the amount of people who view the ads before your videos + watch time in youtube red.

YouTubers make money based on the amount of ad impressions their videos receive after opting in to the partner program. For YouTube Red subscriptions, money is paid out on the basis of watch time.
