I watched so many youtube videos about electronics but i cant seem to understand what is voltage and current. If I = V/R, then in a series circuit, if the voltage is reducing after each component, then the current should also decrease right? I don’t understand the water pipe analogy

You are not considering the voltage correctly.
You measure voltage between 2 points. So if you got 3 things in series with all the same resistance, A-B-C. Let say we got 6v. It would be 6v A 4v B 2v C 0v in the series.
The voltage between each component is 2v. All the components have the same R so I should be the same through all of them.
The Voltage on A is 6v. The voltage after C is 0v, that a 6v different, 3x bigger, but now you add A+B+C resistance since they are in series, so 3x the voltage over 3x the resistance has you end up at the same current.
