What do u think about 1.e5 , againts c4 and e4?

I really wanna know the good and bad things of 1.e5 As a response against e4 and c4, I usually play the Sicilian or French Defense against e4, which has been effective for me, but I see that more and more people are playing 1.e5, which I find interesting.

Against 1 e4 1... e5 is the most solid response. You need to figure out which opening best fits your style - Petrov or Ruy Lopez and which variation within those.
Against 1 c4 1... e5 is the sharpest response. You're playing against the Sicilian a tempo down but that does not guarantee white an edge. Many subvariations depending on whether you want an open (quick d5) or closed setup (g6, Bg7) or an offbeat line such as 1 c4 e5 2 Nc3 Bb4.

This is a bit confusing. Russian (aka Petrov) is an opening black choses to play while Spanish (aka Ruy Lopez) is an opening white choses to play.

He means you have a choice between 2...Nf6 and 2...Nc6.
2... Nc6 will mostly lead to 3 Bb5, but 3 Bc4, 3 d4, 3 Nc3 are possible too.

Not among my opponents... On higher levels it's different, perhaps.

In the masters database 42% Bb5 and 23% Bc4.
In the lichess database exactly opposite: 42% Bc4 and 23% Bb5.
