Will deleting google+ profile delete my youtube account?

[four]

I signed up for youtube back in 2012, and remember the simplicity of finding the inbox when you click on the top right hand corner. Now you have to go everywhere to just find it. But anyways I just wanted a regular google account and youtube account for commenting etc. I never wanted a google plus profile (I got facebook for that) I don't know how I got it. But what worries me is when I went to youtube, account settings overview to delete google plus (I researched) it said if I delete google+ profile it will have a direct impact against google products. I want to delete google plus profile but not lose my youtube account or comments and messeges.
I remember when youtube and gmail were still linked without this google plus profile. I want to still have gmail and youtube, but I;m unsure how this will all work. Please explain it yourself if you can, no links please they make no sense.
