You say you own all your content yet the David Holmes Death Crash video does not belong to you, besides that none of your videos are getting enough views for Google to pay out.

I didn't talk about this one.
From what I heard,1000 views are enough to make 1$ or 2.50$
isn't it right?

There are many factors on your CPM (Cost per Thousand Views), your audience retention, if people aren't even watching the video what makes you think they'll watch ads?

Your demographics, where are your viewers from, their age. etc. an ad about insurance that might pay allot isn't going to be shown to a bunch of 5 years olds (<- Just and example).

And if people are even clicking or watching the ads.

That person might have applied multiple add options for his video, or retention for the video is incredibly high, he might have wrote a deal with a sponsor for making the video and get a pay for it. And more options that determines amount that you get for it.

This can depend on the Partnership, is the person signed to a Network, sponsors etc?

That is not how YouTube works. You do not get paid for views, subscribers or anything. You get paid off ad views. This has nothing to do with views. For example, a video with 50,000 views only has 1,000 ad views, another video could have 10,000 views and have 2,000 ad views. Assuming the cpm was the same or almost the same, the second video would get more money even though it had less views. For course this example is an exaggeration tons of factor effect the money made, like cpm, type of content, use of adblock, location of monizatized playbacks, and more.

The only that person got 20k views and got $300 without ads would be if they would have to have a sponsored video or something. And that is a lot of money on average you would only get $100 for those 20,000 views. But of course with your type of content upload and your small channel you would probably get way less then that, maybe $50.

If you want to make money, you have to enable monetization on your account and then enable monetization on each video. A green dollar sign icon should appear next to the video if successful. Also, in order to get paid you have to link your account with adsense and reach $100, so it could take a while. And if you weren't monetized before and you are starting now, getting like 50 views a month could take a long time to reach $100.

I see the green dollar icon.
I enable monetization on each video.
What do you mean?
Do they have to click on my ads?
wow..
And maybe they did and I can't get money because i was blocked for 6 months?[finishes in like 20 days]

Well if you see green $ then you should be good. In order to get money if there is a not skippable ad, there person has to watch the whole ad and not click away or refresh the page. If it is a skippable ad then they have to watch at least 30 seconds of it before skipping. You probably have such a small channel that you might not be getting any ads. I monetized my videos 6 months ago, get a about 500 views a month and to this day I have made a whopping $00.08! If you just monetized like a few days that makes perfect sense you still made $0. But then it get it might have something to do with the block I don't know.
