Question

What does it mean to loop a video?

It means having the video play over and over automatically.
Question

How do I stop the repetition of videos on YouTube without browser extensions?

if you are using youtube on a desktop then right click where the video will play and a drop down list would appear. In the list, you would see an option "loop" with a tick mark by it. Click on it and it would toggle to "loop off" as the tick mark goes away.
Question

What happens if your video won't load?

Reload the page. If it still does not work, then check your wireless connection and make sure it is working. If you think it is something else, then contact YouTube headquarters.
Question

Can I loop videos an unlimited number of times?

Yes, you can.
Question

Does the view count if I play the video on the app?

Probably, as YouTube counts views from external sources - maybe not the repeats, but definitely the initial play.
Question

I want to learn guitar, can I use an app to loop the video to help me learn the parts that are more difficult?

I recommend using the app Loop2Learn. It lets you change the speed in your loop without changing the pitch, and this works really well for things like learning an instrument.
Question

Whenever I right click it just plays the video. What am I doing wrong?

You can loop your YouTube video with listenonrepeat. Just replace the YouTube part before ".com" in the URL with "listenonrepeat".
